How do you expect us to know that?
  You have not stated what versions of Squid or Trend you are using.
Most modern AV support ICAP scanning and can be plugged into current
Squid versions via that protocol.
  Note; there is a performance impact from ICAP wrapping the traffic
scanning it and unwrapping again, so be sure your existing server has
enough spare capacity to handle ~30% efficiency/speed reduction even at
peak traffic times.

Then you do not have a properly secured LAN. There are many other ways
malware propagates than HTTP infections. To be properly secured I
suggest you install client-end AV or AM tools as well.
