What to do if an opponent fails to make his move at the end of a game when his position is lost (mate next or next to one move) and his timeout has expired but he still has 7 days of time bank remaining?

Thank you for that. So I have to wait for the full 7 days before I can claim the points, do I? Nothing else I can do?

Yes, there is nothing else you can do.

Thank you.

If you're in a hurry and don't care about the rating points or the win, you can resign.

You should always check the time controls you are getting involved with before you start a game. If they are not acceptable, just cancel the game before it starts and pick times you like.
