Spikes pose a different problem and you'll need to consider a median filter and/or ...

The best is to resample the raster and have hillshade models of different scales. 90m resolution of the whole US will shade correctly but when you view the whole image the resampling algorithm for viewing in the screen will/might cause pixellation. If you view at about 1:1 screen scale you should see a good hillshade.
Also hillshading does not work really ...
