I switched to manual install and that worked for me.

curl --silent --location "https://github.com/weaveworks/eksctl/releases/latest/download/eksctl_$(uname -s)_amd64.tar.gz" | tar xz -C /tmp
sudo mv /tmp/eksctl /usr/local/bin

Confirming same that installation via homebrew isn't working for me, as well (but with a different error)
