You can change the preview quality in the context menu for each image 
separately or for all images in the Document Setup (Tools > Picture Frame 
Settings.

The EPS files you imported are probably vector files. Converting a bitmap to 
eps doesn't create vector graphics, but a bitmap image in a Psotscript file, 
so the result won't change. Use the methods described above to improve the 
preview.
