不下 = a potential complement
A "potential complement" is a complement that's used to express the possibility of achieving an expected action.
Putting 得 or 不 between an action verb and a result complement or direction complement changes them to potential complements.
> VERB + 得/不 + COMPLEMENT
Here, "下" acts as an abstract direction complement, suggesting that a location or container in question does not have the capacity to hold something. The "得/不" expresses the possibility of that capacity.
The opposite of 不下 = "得下" (a positive potential complement -- the space DOES have the capacity to hold something).
Ex: 房间很大,放得下电脑。
