Either

Either of them

'them' always refer to two things, right?
If you want 'them' to refer to more than two things, it would be 'any one of them', right?
Thanks.

Well what you said is not true: 'them' does not always refer to two things; it refers to more than one. What you mean, I presume, is that ' either' always refers to two things ; that is true. And your second phrase is correct.
