Does archive size of tar, zip and rar effect the time it takes to delete a file from it?

Does archive size of tar, zip and rar effect the time it takes to delete a
file from it?

Does it take a longer time to delete files from a large tar zip and rar
archive than a smaller one? I would think that for a file to be deleted
from an archive, all the data that exists after the deleted file would
have to be re-written to the archive, thus taking longer as opposed to a
smaller archive where the amount of data to re-write is less... if not,
how are these archives able to remove data from the middle of the archive
without re-writing the rest of the data?
