That is a problem.  apt-proxy does not run with enough priviledges to
create a file in /var/log, so this file must always be present.  It is
created in apt-proxy's postinst and rotated by logrotate.  You need to
recreate it

touch /var/log/apt-proxy.log
chown aptproxy:adm /var/log/apt-proxy.log

Great, that shows the problem I quoted hasn't occured for you.

Well the log file doesn't delete itself for no reason.

If something stops working, its usually a reasonable assumption to guess
that something changed, even if you didn't change it deliberately
yourself.  e.g. a file got deleted, you ran out of disk space, a
configuration file got corrupted etc.
