ssh-agent only stops when you logout if you started it with an
optional command, e.g.

  $ ssh-agent zsh

in which case it's not really stopping when you logout, it's stopping
when you terminate the command you told it to run (zsh in this case).

If you run ssh-agent without that command:

  $ ssh-agent

it won't stop when you logout.
