You can create zip files without compression. I think it might also be possible to compress certain file types but use no compression for others. zip, tar, rar, etc, the point is just to archive so Google Drive doesn't mess with the filenames.

Mind, metadata.opf files are highly compressible. I've got tons of custom columns so those tend to be bloated for me. I've done some solid RAR archives of my library and iirc, they compressed higher than expected.
