are yu using squid as a transparent proxy? in any case, i don't think
proxy or ftp traffic will pass thru squid as it is only a http proxy.
what yu can do is, checkout squid's site (www.squid-cache.org) and there
are a few applications which allow scanning of incoming content thru
squid and they also integrate with major antivirus packages.

for email scanning, well yu can setup the linux box as a mail server
handling all your mails and integrate it with an antivirus. so this way
all your incoming and outgoing mails will be scanned.
thus, yu'll need to install separate scanning applications for
http,smtp/pop and ftp (ftp if yu using a ftp proxy), though the
antivirus engine can be the same.
