I'm guessing here, but it's likely that the soul shard spawners work like the regular sort in that they do have some basic detection for number of mobs in the area. Try moving all of the zombies more than 16 blocks from the spawner and see if that fixes it, as it does with the normal sort.
Just kill em quicker 
But yeah I do believe that there is some code in place to stop massive amounts of spawning since at the rate a Tier 5 shard spits out mobs you could easily lag your game out in a very short period of time. So if you want to "store" the Zombies you could try the vanilla trick of moving them a minimum of 16 blocks away it may or may not work but given you can turn them on and off it's easier to just turn it on fill up your XP turn it off again.
I used a very basic Tier5 Zombie Spawner setup for XP until I got my Blaze Shard done it was simply a 9x9x5 room with a slot in the wall at head height with the spawner 2 blocks above the floor in the middle and some red alloy wire\jacketed wire running up across and down to it. Worked fine, I used an Adv Chainsaw\Adv Lappack (2 hits) up until the TC3 update then a Repair\Sharpness\Vorpal Sword of the Zephyr (2 hits on all in range) was much better. The Blaze farm is much more complicated and also doubles as the fuel supply for some of my 36HP boilers last I checked I had 756 *stacks* of Blaze Rods in an extra dimensional barrel I should probably build another boiler or 2 lol.

If you spawn to many mobs in one area, you get really bad lag. So mob spawners do this as kind of a kill switch so you're not stuck with a million and one mobs to kill.
Kill them faster and more mobs will spawn. Use iron golems with visors They'll help you.
