How about a front wall on the trailer? It would not only block spray, but also keep any cargo from shifting forward into the bike's rear wheel. You could make it removable, for any really unshapely cargo that won't fit otherwise, or when it's dry.
I made one for my son's Croozer trailer, as he was always covered in sand, even with the bug screen down. I got the idea from a picture of a Croozer on a Czech webpage.
