I just checked (again) today and SecuriteInfo.com doesn't support HTTP
compression when downloading its signatures...

Which is a shame because the files compress down to about 1/3-1/4
their original size.

Due to the semi-static nature of your files, you might want to have
pre-compressed copies on your server and you can do a little re-write
magic with Apache to have it serve those when possible instead of
compressing on-the-fly every time (and creating more server load than
necessary).

https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/mod/mod_deflate.html#precompressed

On the positive side, you do have the 'Last-Modified' header so at
least a client isn't always re-downloading an unchanged file.
