You seem to give up quickly!
Download the dnf bundle for your version of AIX from here https://public.dhe.ibm.com/aix/freeSoftware/aixtoolbox/ezinstall/ppc/
- untar it.
- Run the script it includes - assumes you have Internet access.
A good place to start for Open Source Toolbox hints https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/aix-toolbox-open-source-software-get-started
Or start here https://community.ibm.com/community/user/power/blogs/sangamesh-mallayya1/2021/05/28/dnf-is-now-available-on-aix-toolbox

I have tried to install 7zip using rpm -Uhv p7zip-16.02-1.aix6.1.ppc.rpm , but it failed. please see the screenshot for the same and suggest further.
Also please share steps, link to download for your below recommendation:
If it has prerequisite packages, I recommend you first install dnf and then use dnf to install all the dependent packages with dnf install p7zip

Do you mean p7zip from https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/aix-toolbox-open-source-software-downloads-alpha ?
As 7-Zip is not supported on AIX.
Download the rpm then use rpm -Uhv p7zip-16.02-1.aix6.1.ppc.rpm
If it has prerequisite packages, I recommend you first install dnf and then use dnf to install all the dependent packages with dnf install p7zip
