If you want to make such settings globally, put them in
/etc/X11/Xresources/xterm. rxvt is supposed to inherit xterm settings,
and you should probably have to use capital XTerm*<resource>. For
instance, mine looks like:

! /etc/X11/Xresources/xterm

! Uncomment the following lines to make xterm appear much like a virtual
! console, so that ANSI colors will make more sense.
XTerm*background: black
XTerm*foreground: gray90
! make the default font size more sensible
XTerm*font: 9x15
! Make the scrollbar visible.
XTerm*scrollBar: True
! Make the backspace key generate ^? instead of ^H, per Debian keyboard
policy.
! Make the delete key generate ^[[3~ instead of ^?, per Debian keyboard
policy.
! Make the home and end keys appear to always be in keypad-application
mode.
! Include override for BackSpace because older xterms do not understand
the
! backarrowKey resource.
*VT100.Translations: #override ~Meta <Key>BackSpace: string("\177")\n\
                               <Key>Delete: string("\033[3~")\n\
                               <Key>Home: string("\033OH")\n\
                               <Key>End: string("\033OF")
