Alteryx only supports to read/write QVX files. For many Qlik users, it prefers to use QVD instead of QVX because of the benefits to have a smaller file size and also enjoy the optimized load. For fun, I have tried to build custom tools to read and write QVD. Currently, the tools are in trial purposes and only tackle a single file.
QVD Reader Tool
It reads QVD data into Alteryx memory.
QVD Writer Tool
It write Alteryx data in memory into QVD file.

That's pretty impressive I was under the impression only QlikView could write to QVD. Would be very interesting to compare it to the yxdb files for read and write.

Due to some reasons, I am sorry that I am unable share it at this moment.
