Squid needs a valid ICAP response. The right ICAP response status code
depends on what you want Squid to do after receiving that response. You
have mentioned what you do _not_ want Squid to do (i.e. increase the
failure count), but that still leaves a lot of options.

What do you want Squid to do when the ICAP service finds a virus? For
example, what message do you want Squid to send to the next HTTP hop?
