It's supposed to work with data packed that way.

Did you compile with libz support?
What platform do you use? What libxml version? 
Does xmllint read compressed files?

I cannot see any problem here with 
gzip -c test.xml | xmllint --noout -
It does the the same as 
cat test.xml | xmllint --noout -

for xmllint: using libxml version 20504
   compiled with: FTP HTTP HTML C14N Catalog DocBook XPath XPointer XInclude Iconv Unicode Regexps Automata Schemas 
on linux.

I guess ldd is the easiest way on unix/linux to see if libz is included:
ldd /usr/local/bin/xmllint
        libxml2.so.2 => /usr/local/lib/libxml2.so.2 (0x40016000)
        libz.so.1 => /lib/libz.so.1 (0x40106000)
        libm.so.6 => /lib/libm.so.6 (0x40115000)
        libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x40137000)
        /lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x40000000)

If libz does not show up, you shouldn't be suprised that it won't do
anything...
