It is mentioned in Morgoth's Ring that some of the most powerful orcs in the First Age could have been maiar. It's a quality book I suggest everyone get it. Some beautiful writing in it.

I don't see why an orc wouldn't try to claim the ring for himself. It was a dream of quite a few orcs to break free of their 'big bosses' as shown in Shagrat's and Gorbag's conversation in LOTR. The ring would claim to give them the power to do this - by turning the orc in question into a big boss themselves.
