Here is a not so easy approach.

Export the Russell 3000 and the three volumes using the Downloader 
into a text comma separated files.  Import these files into a 
spreadsheet (Excel).  Add the three volume columns into one column, 
and move that column to the column place in the Russell data area of 
the spreadsheet, i.e. where volumne would normally be if volumne was 
reported.  Export the open, high, low, close, volumne data from 
Excel into a text comma separated file.  Import this file with the 
downloader into Metastock format and name it something unique.

Quite a process.  However, after the initial file has been created,
you could use a macro program like MacroExpress to automate the 
updating for each new bar (day/week/etc).
