The ratings did indeed plunge during the Leviathans storyline. Many fans at the time it originally aired absolutely hated it, and they were quite vocal (as several of their letters which have been shared here on the forum show). However, the ratings rebounded during 1970PT and beyond. Although they never again reached the heights they had risen to during the 1897 storyline, which was the ratings high point of the show, they were still quite respectable and certainly nowhere near any type of level that would have gotten any show canceled due to "low ratings." And for all the complaining some may do about the 1841PT storyline, it's always interesting to point out that as that storyline played out, the ratings for DS continued to get higher and higher...
