Create the package from Server then extarct that package. There symantec antivirus.msi file avail in that package.

To create the new custom install package

1. In the Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager console, on the Admin tab, under Tasks, click Install Packages.
   The current default client installation packages appear on the right.
2. Under View Install Packages, click Client Install Packages.
3. Under Tasks, click Export Client Install Package.
4. Browse to or create a preferred export folder, and select it.
5. Select whether or not you want to create a single .EXE file. Unchecking single .EXE will export mutiple files, including an *.MSI installer file.
6. Under "Pick the customized installation settings below", from the drop down menu, select your custom Client Install Setting.
7. Under "Select the features you want to use", from the drop down menu, select your custom Client Install Feature Set.
8. Choose "Export a managed client", then select the group to which the client will be installed. If no group has been created, select the Default Group. It is recommended to leave "Add clients automatically to the selected group" checked.
9. Select the Preferred Policy Mode. The default is Computer mode.
10. Click OK.

you can follow the above steps to create the msi. however,  please note that the sep installation is not complete until you install the liveupdate.

After or before you install the SEP in .msi, you have to copy the lusetup.exe from the folder and install in the machine.

Please check which would be a suitable option for you.
