Well, first off ... The 16F84A doesn't have an Internal Oscillator.
RC mode is for an external Resistor and Capacitor.
But that doesn't explain your problem programming them.

Are you programming it in a Zif socket?
Or is the chip "In Circuit"?

If In-circuit, what else is connected to RB6, RB7 and MCLR?

huh.. good to know about the oscillator.. I'll have to look into that.
I am not using a zif socket, but it is not in-circuit either, I am just using the 18-pin socket on the EPIC programmer. I think my ZIF is not working for some reason. The chip reads all 0000's when I try to use the ZIF.

In the same folder as EPICWIN.EXE

There's a file named EPIC.HTM. Open it with a web browser.
Look at the section labeled EPIC Troubleshooting

One of them usually fixes most problems.
