The word "big" (large) is an adjective because it applies to nouns, or subjects.

Since an action cannot be "big", the corresponding adverbs would be modifiers that mean "to a large extent" such as greatly, immensely, or extremely.

However...there are colloquial expressions where "big" is used as an adverb for effect. These include "think big" and "go big or go home." These are not meant to be formal English.
