Well, there's nothing in LOTR to suggest it wasn't 100% corporeal. Gollum saw 4 fingers on his hand, Aragorn seemed to think that Sauron's form was solid enough to fight - "Let the Lord of the Black Land come forth, justice will be done upon him", Denethor & Galadriel talk about him arriving personally to defeat them if his armies are victorious.

The 'Eye' is just a manifestation of his will and has nothing to do with his physical body.
