The "sleep 120" does nothing since sftp has no such command, by the way.

I understand we can use MGET to fetch all the files in SFTP location. I am confused on how I can achieve the tracking of the zip files and how to go through each study and fetch files.
What do you mean 'tracking'?

You can examine the contents of zip files with unzip -l

You should not be using expect to cram passwords into sftp. You should be using shared keys. That way sftp will work as intended with no need to force-feed it via expect.
