Well, if I understand you correctly, this is easy. After your shell script logs into Oracle and runs your sql, then disconects, use a mv command to rename your file.
%T gives a time format inmilitary time like 21:01:54

SPOOL-NAME=blah-blah-blah
NEW-FILE-NAME=$SPOOL-NAME_$(date +'%T').csv


mv $SPOOL-NAME $NEW-FILE-NAME

Use the date command to generate output file name, e.g...

NAME=`date +extract_%Y-%m-%d_%H:%M:%S.csv`
echo output file is $NAME
sqlplus args > $NAME

See man date for formatting
