I have solved this problem and I feel honored to tell you how doing this. It can be done by putting your attachments in a repeating control.

Procedure to Understand.

Add a Repeating Table with a single column to your Info Path Form Template than go to a task pane of the Data Source and click left two times or double click on the field in the repeating node in repeating Table from here you will change the Type of Data Type into 64 base File attachments and then click ok, now Right click the field in the repeating Table on the InfoPath form Template and choose change to then File Attachments from the context menu.

Now the job has been done.

Hi,

File attachment controls in case of infopath allows only one file to be downloaded at times. However, you need to download multiple files at a time. For that you need to mention the file type. You also need to place the file attachment control inside the repeated control. Only then you will be able to download the multiple files at one time.

Keep it simple as this. Place the file attachment controls inside the multiple repeating controls. One set of such repeating controls will be able to attach n number of files.
