You'd use filter (include/exclude) rules.  See in the man page about its
notes on how rsync requires you to include all directories in order to
traverse the tree and you'd end up with something like this:

rsync -aiv --include=foo/file --include='*/' --exclude='*'
rsync.example.net::module/ /dest/

You might also try using --prune-empty-dirs.
