See documention on 'findprg` option:

Starting with Windows Server 2003 a where command is available. One
can configure vifm to use it in the following way:

set findprg="where /R %s %A"

At some point should probably add a Windows-specific version of virmrc that works without using ports of bash and other POSIX tools.

I have set above setting in my "vifmrc" and now find command works fine.
Thanks for help.
