I got vi syntax to work under rxvt by setting  TERM=cygwin.

here is the command that worked for me (from normal cygwin bash)

rxvt -e vi -T cygwin -c "syntax on" yourfile.c &

i also made an alias

alias vix='rxvt -e vi -T cygwin -c "syntax on"'

then just say

vix yourfile.c &

hopes this works for you.
