An easy way to set MUMPS options is by inserting options in the PETSc options 
database with PetscOptionsInsertString(), see ex25.c
http://slepc.upv.es/documentation/current/src/eps/examples/tutorials/ex25.c.html

PetscOptionsInsertString() should work also in Fortran.

With -eps_view you can check the actual options (including MUMPS options) that 
are being used.
You can activate iterative refinement if you want, but I don't think it is 
necessary for shift-and-invert computations.
Regarding scalability, you can try changing between sequential and parallel 
symbolic factorization, but I think the default is usually the best setting. 
SLEPc does not set any MUMPS options other than the default.
