Actually, (other people correct me if I'm wrong) I'm pretty sure that I read in FotR that Frodo would have become a lesser Wraith; in a way, a slave to the slaves of the Ring, although he also would be a slave to the Ring. It's said in that part where he's waking up in the house of Elrond and speaking to Gandalf, I believe.
EDIT: Wait, nevermind. That's what would have happened if the blade that stabbed him on Weathertop has done its job. But anyway, I'm fairly sure that it was never said straight out that Frodo would become super-powerful if he claimed the Ring for his own. Gandalf said at one point that only Sauron has the power to wield the One Ring. If we go by that, then Frodo shouldn't be able to wield it, and the Nazgul would have absolutely no reason to fear him.
