significant higher the level of protection? In general I think two different antivirus programms see more then one. But on the other hand an HTTP/HTTPS antivirus proxy is an additional attack surface.
Especially because its costly to build the latest squid version with https support from source on a debian jessi. So the proxy will not be  up a proxy or not?

There is not a single antivirus vendor that catches all viruses, especially not new or mutated viruses, so it is definitely recommendable to use two vendors.
One can use brand-1 on the PC and brand-2 on the web proxies and email servers.
