I did this with silver armor and a waraxe of the night (?) (demonite axe) and 340 health. Just jump into a really small space surrounded by ebonstone (a space that used to hold a shadow orb works perfectly) and put a few stone bricks around to prevent eater of souls from reaching you. Summon him there, and just sit there swinging a melee weapon and drink a potion as needed (even the ones that only heal 50 should work for the fight). It's a battle of attrition. He does (with my armor of 13) on average 5-7 per tick while you do TONS of damage as he is running right though you. You WILL kill him first. It gets rough midway but once his body starts dying he starts dropping a bunch of hearts and it's a little scary, but it's how I kill him (and subsequently farm him for a bunch of gold) every time. The only issue is if the hearts from his body drop in the surrounding ebon stone where you might not be able to reach it. It happens to me but it has never happened enough that I have lost.
