What makes you think so?

schaefer[501] afile=zsh-4.2.5-doc.bz2
schaefer[502] print ${${(M)afile%%(.tar|).(7z|bz2|gz)}#.}
bz2
schaefer[503] afile=zsh-4.2.5-doc.tar.gz
schaefer[504] print ${${(M)afile%%(.tar|).(7z|bz2|gz)}#.}
tar.gz

Note that (.tar|) has an empty sub-pattern to the right of the vertical
bar, so it means ".tar or nothing".

}  or? (and all files, which are no Makefiles.... ;O)

I'm afraid I don't understand what you mean about files that are not
Makefiles.
