Add this code

RewriteEngine On 
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f 
RewriteCond favicon.ico 
RewriteRule .* favicon.ico [L]

If top code is not going to work use this.

RewriteEngine On 
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule "^(.+)favicon\.ico(|\?.+)$"  "/favicon.ico" [PT]

You must put your favicon in public_html directory.

Please DELETE CACHE of your browser or test on a new browser.

I hope it helps.

Inspired by this thread: Rewriting path for a specific file using htaccess and using the fact that browsers will look for favicon.ico in root of site:

RewriteEngine On 
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteRule ^favicon.ico path_to_favicon_folder/favicon.ico [L]

Rather than specifying a Favicon in htaccess you would be better off using the following META tag within the HEAD area of every page:

<link rel="shortcut icon" href="http://example.com/myicon.ico" />

If this is not possible (perhaps you have a very large static website) you can simply store the file (name it favicon.ico) in your website's root folder (e.g. /public_html/) as browsers will automatically look there first.

Without testing, something along these lines: 

RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f 
RewriteCond favicon.ico 
RewriteRule .* path/to/shared/favicon.ico [L]
