Ideally, you would have moved the <listname>.mbox/<listname>.mbox file.
This is the file that bin/arch will use by default.

If you have only the *.txt and *.txt.tgz files, you will need to unpack
any .txt.tgz files so you have a complete (and unduplicated) set of
.txt files and then concatenate them into one large file. Put this in
(in your case)
/usr/local/mailman/archive/private/listname.mbox/listname.mbox and
then run

bin/arch --wipe listname

which will rebuild the archive from listname.mbox/listname.mbox
