You've almost answered yourself - put the filename in quotes!
Look at the end of your line: 

7za.exe xyz ac.zip for zip file "xyz ac.zip"

Also the paths should be given - you have three options:
1. cd to the directory where 7za.exe file is and alter the command to have full path to "xyz ac.zip".
2. cd to the directory where "xyz ac.zip" file is and alter the command to have full path to 7za.exe.
3. Add 7za.exe folder to system path, cd to the directory where "xyz ac.zip" file is and execute your command unmodified.
