It should be by two lines, not by one line, please check more carefully.

It should, by default.

I am quite sure that you have a TERM variable set - whether by you
explicitly or by rxvt automatically.  So let us know what it is.

Check what bytes those two keys actually send.
The absolute simplest way: in bash, type ^V, then the key in question.
You will see something like ^H or ^? or ^[[3~.

In linux you can use  showkey -a.

Compare that to what the terminfo for you $TERM says:
Do  infocmp -L
and look for:
   key_backspace
   key_dc
