The legendary US rock band had been the bookies' favourite to top the bill for 2015, but are reportedly "unavailable" to perform.
Eavis, who founded the Somerset music event in 1970, also debunked rumours that Queen would be taking to the Pyramid Stage.
"Queen? Not Queen, no. Fleetwood Mac don't seem to be available at the moment. But we've got three excellent headliners for next year," he told Music Week.
The 79-year-old dairy farmer dropped some hints about what ticket-holders could expect, confirming that one of the acts has "been around for a long time".
The three headliners will be announced on 1 April, but Eavis' latest announcement will heavily impact current odds in the meantime.
Fleetwood Mac are William Hill’s 4/1 favourites for Glastonbury, while AC/DC and Muse have odds of 5/1.
Kate Bush, Oasis, Coldplay, Radiohead, The Stone Roses, U2 and Prince all feature on the hotly-tipped list.
Outside bets include Robert Plant, Adele, David Bowie, Linkin Park and Red Hot Chili Peppers.
150,000 Glastonbury tickets sold out in a record 29 minutes earlier this month, despite some controversy over the festival's no resale policy.
Arcade Fire, Metallica and Kasabian headlined last year's line-up.
