Hmmmm,,, I know your situation. My bathroom is entirely done in the floor tile I have,,,just cuz I like it.
I suggest this.
Contact cement is sold in both a water base and non. The water base is an easier cleanup with less toxicity.
I can't recall the brand, but it's a nice color,,,smiles, aqua.
It can be rolled or brushed on, and applied to the drywall as well as the back of any falling pieces.
One of the issues you're encountering is that most adhesive back THINGS aren't very substantially "glued" In your case it's flooring, and meant to be stepped on, hence keeping it pressed down often.
I suggest try the water base Contact adhesive,,,even in just a quart size can for now. If you wish you can even throw away cheap brushes or rollers.
Rev. Steven
The reason I suggest that rather than liquid nails or cove base adhesives is the mess factor and smoothness. The contact cement will be mere mils thick and yet still stick,,, nearly Instantly.
Very similar to installing mica laminate counter tops, etc.

Try contact cement. It's the type that is applied to both the wall and to the tile. You let them both dry and then carefully position the tile and press firmly. Get it right the first time because it will STICK!

That is silly. I would really worry about mildew in a place like that, it will find its way into your wall and cost you latter.
did you ask the salesman about glue?
I do know of a glue that holds just about anything and its called
Barge Cement. it holds under water.

Get some "Liquid Nails" at Home Depot. That will hold them on. You could also use some "Paneling Glue".

Perhaps Gorilla Glue - you can buy this at any hardware store near you.
It works for everything!

Do you REALLY want to do that? Once you put the construction adhesive on(or most anything beside wall paper adhesive), and you decide later you want to paint or put wall paper up, you will have to replace your drywall.

Place a dab of clear Holdup (Lowes) and spread.

most any construction adhesive should work. Go to your local hardware store and ask this question.
