To answer my own question, 

I was declaring the accumulator incorrectly. The code should look like this:

scala> import org.apache.spark.AccumulatorParam
import org.apache.spark.AccumulatorParam

scala> :paste
// Entering paste mode (ctrl-D to finish)

implicit object BigIntAccumulatorParam extends AccumulatorParam[BigInt] {
  def addInPlace(t1: BigInt, t2: BigInt) = t1 + t2
  def zero(initialValue: BigInt) = BigInt(0)
}

// Exiting paste mode, now interpreting.

defined module BigIntAccumulatorParam       

scala> val accu = sc.accumulator(BigInt(0))(BigIntAccumulatorParam)
accu: org.apache.spark.Accumulator[scala.math.BigInt] = 0

scala> accu += 100

scala> accu.value
res1: scala.math.BigInt = 100
