Now I can only use WinSCP to transfer small files.
I dont have it, but according to the repos it does provides bins
$ pacman -Fl lrzsz
lrzsz usr/
lrzsz usr/bin/
lrzsz usr/bin/lrzsz/
lrzsz usr/bin/lrzsz/lrb
lrzsz usr/bin/lrzsz/lrx
lrzsz usr/bin/lrzsz/lrz
lrzsz usr/bin/lrzsz/lsb
lrzsz usr/bin/lrzsz/lsx
lrzsz usr/bin/lrzsz/lsz
lrzsz usr/share/
lrzsz usr/share/man/
lrzsz usr/share/man/man1/
lrzsz usr/share/man/man1/lrzsz-rz.1.gz
lrzsz usr/share/man/man1/lrzsz-sz.1.gz
You can check your own package;
pacman -Ql lrzsz
If they exist but arent being ‘seen’ …
Did you maybe break $PATH or something?
[cy@E6420 ~]$ echo $PATH
/home/cy/.local/bin:/home/cy/software/bin:/home/cy/.local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/lib/jvm/default/bin:/usr/bin/site_perl:/usr/bin/vendor_perl:/usr/bin/core_perl
I also remove lrzsz and reinstall it(in Package Manager), same result.
run ‘lrzsz-rz’ like ‘rz’.
I also check OpenWRT, rz and sz is soft link command under /usr/bin
But I can`t find them in Manjaro now.

F searches the database.
Q searches your installed packages.
(which functionally means Q for installed things, F for everything)
To see whats provided by an installed package (on your system) it would be
pacman -Ql lrzsz
But you seemed to show it other ways in the original output from E6420.
Strange, there is no rz and sz.
[cy@E6420 ~]$ pacman -Ql lrzsz
lrzsz /usr/

They are there … just not with the shorter symlinks.
You can always do that yourself, such as alias;
alias rz='lrzsz-rz'
alias sz='lrzsz-sz'
(put it in your rc file to have it automatically provided in terminal sessions)

alias is a temporary solution.
-F searches remote database
‘-Q’ searches your installed packages
The strange thing is that the installed package does not include the rz command that can be used directly. It could be used directly in the past. I’ll download the installation package and find out why.
The maintainer of the package is an Arch Linux packager.

So you would look towards Arch Linux / Packaging / Packages / lrzsz · GitLab to find the PKGBUILD history.
Not any more temporary in your .zshrc/.bashrc than as a symlink. 
(and I might argue if its something you are adding yourself then HOME makes more sense)
I imagine the “lrzsz-” prefix was added to the executables to avoid confusion with other packages, such as Rizin, which has “rz-” as the prefix to many of its executables:
/usr/bin/rizin
/usr/bin/rz-asm
/usr/bin/rz-ax
/usr/bin/rz-bin
/usr/bin/rz-diff
/usr/bin/rz-find
/usr/bin/rz-gg
/usr/bin/rz-hash
/usr/bin/rz-run
/usr/bin/rz-sign
/usr/bin/rz-test

There is a bug mentioned in the upstream, but it has been closed.
The binaries has been relocated to a subfolder /usr/bin/lrzsz possibly to avoid conflicts with other binaries.
From the Files tab in Add / Remove Software
/usr/bin/lrzsz/lrb
/usr/bin/lrzsz/lrx
/usr/bin/lrzsz/lrz
/usr/bin/lrzsz/lsb
/usr/bin/lrzsz/lsx
/usr/bin/lrzsz/lsz
/usr/share/man/man1/lrzsz-rz.1.gz
/usr/share/man/man1/lrzsz-sz.1.gz
So I suggest you add /usr/bin/lrzsz to your path e.g. in your .zshrc or your .bashrc or .profile
export PATH=/usr/bin/lrzsz:${PATH}

There is no subfolder /usr/bin/lrzsz
So I add alias first.

Hmm - perhaps you are on stable branch - and you run into issue when the next snap to stable is done
$ ls /usr/bin/lrzsz
lrb lrx lrz lsb lsx lsz

Yes, my version is
Version : 0.12.20-10
next version I will add
/usr/bin/lrzsz
to PATH and change alias:
alias rz='lrz'
alias sz='lsz'
