You forgot your spaces, incluide them in your variable like

var = " C:\Test "

or better pre- and append them to the rest of the string

objShell.ShellExecute "cmd.exe", "/k icacls " & var & " /grant everyone:(OI)(CI)M ", "",  "runas", 1

Looks like a spacing issue. Can you please try this?

Set objShell = CreateObject("Shell.Application")
  Dim var
  var = "C:\test"
  objShell.ShellExecute "cmd.exe", " /k icacls " & var & " /grant everyone:(OI)(CI)M ", "",  " runas ", 1
