Look in the file /usr/X11R6/etc/system.fvwm2rc. Assuming you're talking 
about the xterm you get when you click button 1 on the root window, look 
for the section "AddToMenu RootMenu". There is a line that looks like

+ "XTerm"  Exec exec xterm -sl 2048 -font 9x15

To make the font bigger you could, for example, change that 9x15 to 
10x20. I'm not sure how to make the default window size larger, but I'd 
be looking for the word "geometry" in various config files. Also see man 
xterm.

HTH.
