To get file size, you need to access it via metadata as follows:

            window.resolveLocalFileSystemURL(filePath, 
                function (fileSystem) {
                    fileSystem.getFile(fileName, {create: false}, 
                        function (fileEntry) {
                            fileEntry.getMetadata(
                                function (metadata) {
                                    alert(metadata.size); // get file size
                                }, 
                                function (error) {}
                            );
                        }, 
                        function (error) {}
                    );
                }, 
                function (error) {} 
            );
