If you were working at the client site you can bill for it.
I think if you press on this one the client will sign. Maybe there will be a quibble over a couple of hours.
But no question, the client can't refuse to pay. You need to chase the agency, you can't do anything with the client other than to explain you will be taking legal action against the agency. Of course that is unlikely to impress them.
Unfortunately although your gripe is with the client and not with the agency you have to take action against the agency.
When it comes to legal action it would be very difficult for the agency to produce proof that you did nothing useful in your final week. That won't wash. You were working successfully for the rest of the time.
I suspect if anyone is going to sit on the loss it will be the agency and not you.
