     def to_csv
       CSV.generate do |csv|
         #build csv format of document
       end
     end

     # controller action to download zip
     def zip_download
       zip = Zip::File.open('document.zip', Zip::File::CREATE) do |zipfile|
               @documents.each do |document|
                # document.to_csv how to add this file .zip

You can try:

zip.get_output_stream("#{yourcsvname}.csv") { |f| f.puts(yourdocument.to_csv) }

Check this question: Creating multiple csv-files and download all in one zip-archive using rails

I think that is what do you need.
