Something bad.
The usage of this term originated in the pubs of Peterborough in the late 90's / early '00's and was born following a dispute over the winnings from a fruit machine. One individual had inserted a large sum of money in a fruit machine and when said individual ran out of money he went to the bar to change a ten pound note.

"You did that with malice you cunt!"

"Malice. Is he ok?"
"John's parents split up last week"
"Malice. What's his mum's number?"
"Fancy a pint this evening, John?"
"No."
"Malice"
... etc.
