You can save the map from Adobe Illustrator as PDF or as TIFF with high resolution and then use MapTiler to bring it to WebGL Earth quite easily. There is a video tutorial that can be found here.

MapTiler even provide you with a WebGL Earth viewer for your map - the index.html.

All that you need to do is to upload the tiles to any web hosting site. Their how to section on hosting has a variety of possibilities.

The WebGL Earth has been developed by the same team who works on MapTiler as well...

Unfortunantly a map made in Adobe Illustrator is not really a map that can be used in a proper web mapping application. It does not contain any coordinates that would help to locate things on a globe.
