Shields were added with the Character Operations Manual and I was wondering if a Combat Chassis Drone with 2 Melee Arms could have a Shield equipped?

RAW, no, I don't think so. A shield is not categorized as a melee weapon, and shield proficiency is not on the list of feats a drone can take.

I wouldn't have a problem with a homebrew solution, but I don't believe an errata or FAQ has addressed this yet.

Well, nothing since the CRB has been added to the Drone Feat list. As long as you aren't playing in an Organized Play context, the provision about GMs possibly allowing other feats is actually fairly important.
