No need to create custom options: you just need to install the thunar-archive-plugin to have both Compress and Extract Here options.

You may install it with the following command:

 sudo apt-get install thunar-archive-plugin

After installing (and closing all previous instances of Thunar), you will find both options in Thunar's right-click menu.

Have a look at http://docs.xfce.org/xfce/thunar/custom-actions

It has step by step instructions including compress/extraction examples.
