In my experience (two years worth), eggplant is slow to recover from transplant shock. After they are settled in they take off. I water them in with liquid kelp which is reported to ease transplant shock and give then a handful of compost.
I've seen leaves curling under in the evening and return to normal during the day. I'm not sure if that is an eggplant habit.
