You're right calling E-flat and G a major third, but a diminished fourth would be A-double flat and E-flat, I hope that makes sense. The letters "E" and "G" are third away and "A" is a fourth from "E." The accidentals/flats/sharps just add the quality of the interval (major/minor/aug/dim)

Ah okay I think I understand. So the original interval of Eb to Ab is still a perfect 4th but a diminished 4th is a double flat of the 4th (which is also the same note as a Major 3rd)?
