A zero-size file with a virus? Wow.

Are you using Microsoft Windows? If yes, that could be the reason, as
W32/Nimda virus is using TFTP and is known to leave temporary tftp
files behind. See http://vil.mcafee.com/dispVirus.asp?virus_k=99209&

AFAIK, Squid does not use tftp protocol or even a "tftp" string.
