It should be noted that it is not the eggs that dissolve, but the egg shell, and it is not the fact that it is vinegar, just that it is an acid.

Egg shells involve calcium compounds which will dissolve in acid. Vinegar is a slightly acidic compound and so it dissolves the calcium compound.

The chemical equation for putting an egg in vinegar is 'CaCO3(s)+2CH3COOH(aq) --> Ca(CH3COO)2(aq) +2H2O(l)+CO2(g)'. The eggshell is usually noted as 'CaCO3.'
