I just had one of our 6 rabbits die suddenly from what I think was snuffles. They are all kept in the garage. What can I do to prevent the others from getting this?

Snuffles is a very easy disease to diagnose, the symptoms are often sneezing and nasal discharge, sometimes eye infections too. if your rabbits shows any of those symptoms simply take it to your vet as antibiotics are required to fight the infection.
