When you unzip a csvz file, you end up with a folder with csv-files.
Can this be considered a csvz-container?
I think it could be useful. For example, when putting datafiles into git.
To differentiate a csvz-container from a folder containing some csv files, I propose such a folder to have the .csvd extension. So if you extract the my_data.csvz file, you get the my_data.csvd folder.
The folder could have the same extension (thus not introducing a new extension). The disadvantage is you can't extract an .csvz file into the same folder without deleting/moving the original file.
Tools are not expected to open these .csvd-folders directly. It's only to denote that when zipped, it's automatically a .csvz file.
