A qemu-nbd device reports that it can discard a lot of bytes:

cat /sys/block/nbd0/queue/discard_max_bytes
2199023255040

And indeed, discard works with small images:

$ qemu-img create -f qcow2 /tmp/image.img 2M
$ sudo qemu-nbd --connect=/dev/nbd0 /tmp/image.img
$ sudo blkdiscard /dev/nbd0

but not for bigger ones (still smaller than discard_max_bytes):

$ qemu-img create -f qcow2 /tmp/image.img 5G
$ sudo qemu-nbd --connect=/dev/nbd0 /tmp/image.img
$ sudo blkdiscard /dev/nbd0
