The preview images are at (or around) 64x64 pixels and are displayed at 64x64 pixels. The image you see is about as good as the preview will get. I could make it zoom-in, but it really won't get any more detailed. The reason for the small size restriction on preview images is because it would make the page take forever to load if the previews are too big.
I am hoping to implement a feature of the map editor that should help with how much of a pain it is to "download the map, open the editor, load it, wait for it to pixel-render" just to be able to see the map in detail:
By associating the .map files with the editor, you will be able to download a map (pretty small files, shouldn't take too long on the download) and click "open" when it reaches 100%. Windows will auto-open the map in the map editor and the graphics will be pre-rendered, so it won't take as long to load complex map files anymore. No promises, but I will try to get these features out in the next Editor release.
BTW: the problem where some 64x64 previews wouldn't upload should be fixed, let me know if anyone still has that problem.
