No. The Cygwin utility for 7z archives is p7zip, but that's one of the
packages that hasn't been ported to 64-bit Cygwin yet.
Compare:

http://cygwin.com/cgi-bin2/package-grep.cgi?grep=7z&arch=x86_64
While you wait for an official 64-bit p7zip package to be produced, the
options I can see are:
- Swap to 32-bit Cygwin
- Obtain the p7zip source code and build it for 64-bit Cygwin yourself
- Use native Windows 7z tools
