To know if your image is alright, there's no need to zoom in at more than 150% what-you-see-is-what-you-get and at 100-150%, if it looks good on your screen, it should look good when printed too. It's normal because Photoshop destroys that vector information and convert your image to pixels.
When opening that EPS in Photoshop, the quality should be very good if you open it at 300ppi and more the difference you might see is if you zoom in in Photoshop, you'll see pixels and not perfect lines. The type of t-shirt printing process you'll use might also require you to flatten transparency and the blending effects, and send a perfect vector-only file.
It's hard to tell you what exactly should be done without seeing your vector and without knowing if you placed rasterized images into it.
