The vector Splunk_hec_log [1] support compression algorithms gzip,snappy,zlib and zstd.   It seems the server splunk HEC  only supports gzip(I am using docker.io/splunk/splunk 9.2).  Does splunk HEC  support snappy,zlib or zstd? Is this possible to enable this algorithms beside of gzip?

As my colleague used to say - "Try and see". Set up a HEC input and try to push a few requests using different compression methods.

As far as I remember, there are no settings for selectively enabling/disabling compression (methods) on HTTP level so you'll either hit something that Splunk can process or you'll get an error.
