RAW: The spell creates an object. The object is mobile, but it does fill the space it occupies, just as a wall, cart or other large object would.

It is not a creature. Only creatures can squeeze using the PHB rules. Thus, it can't be moved into spaces too small for it. Just as it would not be possible to push a large cart down a narrow hallway, under RAW, you can't move a Bigby's hand down a narrow hallway that is not wide enough to accommodate it.

All of this depends upon a few things. First, it is described as large, but large meaning 10' by 10' is a CREATURE designation. Large, here may, be more subjective as the hand is not a creature. This is going to be up to you and the DM.
