C-c a m CLOSED>="<-7d>"+CLOSED<"<today>" RET

will show things closed last week.

To show log info from last week, make the agenda show that
and then turn on log mode with

l             Show clocking and CLOSED stuff
C-u l         Show also state change notes dated last week
C-u C-u l     Show only logging stuff, not other stuff that was,
               for example, scheduled during the time interval.
