It's just general slang that started up sometime during the 20th century. While nobody knows for sure how it came about, it's believed that a rat was used in the expression because of the way people view the rodent (annoying and small). From the net.

Roaring Yes. Take anything that has no or negative value and here it is: "A rats ass" Although if I were a rat, that ass might very well be appealing.
