To prevent yourself from dying, I suggest you hold off the shadow orbs until you have equipment good enough to fight the Eater of Worlds quickly. Kill it many times, and craft shadow armor. With Shadow-Tier gear, (including the Vilethorn, Bane of Light, and the great buffs from the Shadow Armor) it should be a snap. I defeated them all without a single death. And if you have found underground mushrooms, high level health potions help.
