I don't think you need the eval(), here. This should be enough:

'\%>' .. &tw .. 'v'

That said set tw=0 means that there is no line length limit for that buffer so a better approach would probably be to wrap the whole thing in a conditional:

  • if &tw > 0, highlight the characters after tw,
  • if &tw == 0, don't highlight anything as it doesn't make sense in that context.
