Looks broken, yes, does using https://stackoverflow.com/a/19159183/2128797 in the Path statement make a difference?
Using quotes gives a result here:

With 8.3 names:
WHERE C:\Progra~1\7-zip\:7z
WHERE only lists files in the directory level specified, so is pretty restrictive without the /R option.
