Here is the exact syntax used in my Windows shortcut:

C:\cygwin\bin\rxvt.exe -T "%COMPUTERNAME%.%USERDNSDOMAIN%" -e /bin/bash -login 
-c "exec /bin/bash"

How did you invoke it?

You're probably running bash as a non-login shell, in which case
/etc/profile isn't sourced, and that's where the PATH is set.

Run it like so:
rxvt -ls

And if that doesn't help:
rxvt -e /bin/bash -l
