You're not doing anything wrong. That's what your logo looks like at that size. If you go back to Illustrator and zoom out on the artwork until it's about the size of you PNG. It looks the same.

Sometimes logos don't work at small sizes so you have to make small format versions. Usually the artwork needs to be simplified with some fine details removed and/or emphasized.

For example I work with a logo regularly that is a word made up of a bunch of circles like a led sign. At small sizes you can't distinguish the circles and it just looks like a grainy, gray splotch. We have a small format version where there are fewer but larger circles and it reads much better at small sizes.

For your logo I would suggest making a version where the puzzle piece outline is a little bolder and maybe make the bottom thread area single bolder line to separate the bulb from the base.
