What do you mean in terms of "multiple file download"?

You can do this right now in two ways:

1)  An archive file (your zip example) with the files in it.
2)  A multipart response with the files as parts, each part having
     "Content-Disposition: attachment".

You can gzip this multipart response to get the compression behavior you 
want.
