I don't know about any technical limitations, but is a 3.5M
zip file really a Vim script? There are people who routinely
download new scripts and have a look at them from interest.
They will get a surprise when they find themselves looking
at an unzipped file of several megabytes.

If I understand the situation, your zip is a collection of all
colorscheme scripts from vim.org, with some tool for viewing
them? Similar ideas have been tried in the past, but I think
there are far too many colorschemes for anyone to evaluate.
That's particularly the case when many of them are merely a
minor variation on another scheme, and many are somewhat broken.

It might be more helpful for someone to do an evaluation for
what is good on a system of a certain type, and provide a
preview of, say, fifty of the best schemes. See the links at
the following for how that has been attempted:
