I cannot find csvexport in the MATLAB Online Documentation. If it’s a File Exchange contribution, contact the author.

As Star says, "not a Matlab question" but if is a FEX submission it probably suffers from similar limitation as does csvwrite which includes
>> help csvwrite
...
* csvwrite writes a maximum of five significant digits. For greater
precision, call DLMWRITE with a precision argument.
You should, of course, check the help info for the function to see what additional parameters may be accepted from its default just as dlmwrite but it would seem the logical solution would be dlmwrite with the alternative of a specific format to get a specific output form.
