well.
Be sure that you unzipped subfolders, i.e. in directory where you
placed FB you have bin, udf, and other subfolders.

rfunc.dll may (I don't remember) want ib_util.dll.
check it at UDF subfolder. You may also try to copy
ib_util.dll into Firebird/bin subfolder.

Then, rfunc also may want fbclient.dll.
I mean, udf dll can have dependencies. You may find them using
ProcessMonitor from Microsoft. Watch fbserver.exe or
fb_inet_server.exe (I don't know what you use) and try to call select
with your function. At that moment (only first time) FB will try to
find and load declared module. Declared module may try to find and
load other modules. Look for error, wrong path, non-existing file,
etc.

Solved! The problem is I needed to register GDS32.dll into system32 or SysWOW64 folder to enable rfunc.dll.
In console command, inside bin folder from firebird, I executed "instclient.exe i g" and it worked. Thanks for your help Dmitry.
