Hi Chris. I downloaded your illustrator file and can confirm that
Nautilus generates a thumbnail for it, but only after clicking once on
it (I've set Nautilus to open/launch on double-click).  Nautilus did not
generate a thumbnail automatically like it does for PDF files and other
mime-types.

The app Nautilus uses to generate the thumbnail is evince-thumbnailer.
I'm not sure though what mechanism Nautilus relies on to determine when
to generate a thumbnail for a particular mime-type and when to use a
theme icon.
