Maybe if you try to pack all files in one zip you can archive this in Admin

Something like:

    def zipFiles(files):
        outfile = StringIO()  # io.BytesIO() for python 3
        with zipfile.ZipFile(outfile, 'w') as zf:
            for n, f in enumerate(files):
                zf.writestr("{}.csv".format(n), f.getvalue())
        return outfile.getvalue()

    zipped_file = zip_files(myfiles)
    response = HttpResponse(zipped_file, content_type='application/octet-stream')
    response['Content-Disposition'] = 'attachment; filename=my_file.zip'
