ImageMagick is NOT designed for vector formats like these...

For more info on why see...
  IM Examples, Common Image Formats
    A word about Vector Image formats
       http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/formats/#vector

You can do it but it will come out blocky.
If you still want to do it add a higher -denstity setting first..

   convert -density 600 foo.ai foo.eps

Where 600 is the output resolution of your printer or other device.

NOTE your postscript file will probbaly be very BIG.

You are better of getting Illustrator to convert to postscript
instead, as it will generate vector postscript.
