I've had similar issues with a few of our clients and have had them focus on sending to openers and clickers for Gmail. The clickers/openers universe gets 30-46% open rates. For the rest when we test "inactive" for Gmail after about two weeks the open rate has increased from 2% to 8%.
I think this is generally the right strategy, it just takes a while. For volume total we're looking at about 1500 individuals between openers/clickers so far.
