He not only knew about horcruxes, he also knew that Riddle had specifically asked about them.

And, as the man said in HBP, chapter 4, page 68: "I imagine that they would want you to turn your considerable talents to coercion, torture, and murder," said Dumbledore.

Whatever else he might be, Slughorn was intelligent enough to read the signs and to be afraid.
I think this is it more than anything. He'd gone to significant trouble to alter his memory so that no one else would know. Whether or not Voldemort even cared about Slughorn, we don't know. BUT Slughorn THOUGHT Voldemort cared.
