But I have often wondered what Gandalf meant when he said, "Valleys have ears..." is he implying that there is danger lurking so close to Rivendell? What danger could be out there? The Nazgul?

It is rather unlikely that he is talking about a nazgul; according to the Tale fo the Years, RotK, the nazgul remain quiet between 2063 and 2951.
He seems to be actually warning about some would be gossiping elves:

- Hush, hush! Good People! and good night! said Gandalf, who came last. Valleys have ears, and some elves have over merry tongues. Good night!
