Mostly Shakespeare means just wicked or bad by the word, which is what it means nowadays. For example Gloucester says to Regan in King Lear

Naughty lady,

These hairs which thou dost ravish from my chin

Will quicken, and accuse thee.

The word originally meant dirty, having to do with sex. The word "naught" was another way of saying "nothing", which was slang for the female sex organs (males have a "thing" and females "no-thing"). That's what it means in this line from Measure for Measure:

I say, sir, I will detest myself also, as well as

she, that this house, if it be not a bawd's house,

it is pity of her life, for it is a naughty house.
