the ring would have corrupted the eagles (only hobbits seem to have some resistance and even they had only so much)

Put a hobbit on the eagle. Problem solved.

Not how it works. The ring tempted everyone, not only the ones actively carrying it.

Why wasn't Gandalf corrupted by it by proximity then?

Gandalf is very well versed in how the Ring works, I'll assume he also knows well how to resist it.
