It seems that w3m is not able to display images in terminals wich have a color depth of 32 bits (like urxvt).

Steps to reproduce:
Run w3m in a terminal wich support a color depth of 32 bits:
- for urxvt add the string URxvt.depth:32 to the file Xresources, and reload it using xrdb
- start a new instance of urxvt
- run w3m in the new instance of urxvt
Try to display some images (for example search something in google images)

There is also a discussion on the github page of ranger, in wich the issue is described:
