It is not included in findutils which comes with cygwin.
You could get it elsewhere, built it for yourself or get my binary:

Hmmm, i am at win98, it works fine with vim and also if i do ls.
I did nothing special. I remember having problems too at NT with vim
syntax highlighting which i was not able to resolve.

Unfortunately i cannot call rxvt from a shortcut here at Win98, but 
it works well if i start it from a shell window with this command:

$ rxvt.exe -geometry 90x30 -bg black -fg grey -cr red -sr -sl 400 \
   -fn "Lucida Console-14" -tn cygwin -ls -e bash --login -i
