You might need to create the text file ~/.inputrc,
and add the line:
"\e[2~": paste-from-clipboard
Then you should be able to use 'shift-insert' to insert
the contents of the clipboard into 'rxvt'.
>From the manual page for 'rxvt':
TEXT SELECTION AND INSERTION
The behaviour of text selection and insertion mechanism is
similar to xterm(1).
Selection:
Left click at the beginning of the region, drag to
the end of the region and release; Right click to
extend the marked region; Left double-click to
select a word; Left triple-click to select the
entire line.
Insertion:
Pressing and releasing the Middle mouse button (or
Shift-Insert) in an rxvt window causes the current
text selection to be inserted as if it had been
typed on the keyboard.
