all of them, except lzd, do implement --test.

there are alternatives in place since jessie,
you can just call /usr/bin/lzip:

$ update-alternatives --list lzip
/usr/bin/lzip.clzip
/usr/bin/lzip.lunzip
/usr/bin/lzip.lzd
/usr/bin/lzip.lzip
/usr/bin/lzip.lziprecover
/usr/bin/lzip.minilzip
/usr/bin/lzip.pdlzip
/usr/bin/lzip.plzip
$
