rxvt sets TERM to xterm by default unless you specify it either with -tn
option or in ~/.Xdefauts, or in your shell's configuration file.

src/rxvt.h:

  /* COLORTERM, TERM environment variables */
  #define COLORTERMENV    "rxvt"
  #ifdef XPM_BACKGROUND
  # define COLORTERMENVFULL COLORTERMENV "-xpm"
  #else
  # define COLORTERMENVFULL COLORTERMENV
  #endif
  #ifndef TERMENV
  # ifdef KANJI
  #  define TERMENV       "kterm"
  # else
  #  define TERMENV       "xterm"
  # endif
  #endif


rxvt(1)

    -tn termname
          This option specifies the name of the terminal type  to
          be  set in the TERM environment variable. This terminal
          type must exist in the termcap(5) database  and  should
          have li# and co# entries; resource termName.
