What redirects me from test.com to localhost?
I just wanted to check if that domain is free, and wondered why my apache index page showed up. I cannot find an entry in /etc/hosts or so, and a friend of mine has the same "problem" (also on archlinux). Is this some default setting somewhere?
Btw. http://www.test.com works just fine. (notice the www)

I don't have this behavior... Both URL point to the same page.
What gives dig test.com on your system ?

Either your DNS server gives a wrong answer, either your /etc/hosts file contains a line for test.com...

Re: What redirects me from test.com to localhost?
your /etc/hosts file contains a line for test.com...
dig/host commands do NOT use /etc/hosts so your DNS server is misbehaving.
