By default the threshold is quite high and leaves many files uncompressed in the resource, so I usually change it to much lower threshold.  It used to work fine on Symbian and Harmattan, it does work on BB10,  but on Sailfish OS adding e.g.

I believe the problem may be that the Makefile is recreated every time 
you press build because of limitations in the qt creator / virtual 
machine integration. You could try adding QMAKE_RESOURCE_FLAGS to your 
"spec" file in a suitable place.

QMAKE_RESOURCE_FLAGS += -threshold 0 -compress 9


That example is from [1].
