I have found a configuration setting in the daemon that sets a 
frequency for invoking freshclam so I now know that it is being 
controlled by the daemon. 

I'm still hoping for an explanation of what these .conf settings do, 
specifically whether associated with updating databases or more along 
the lines of integrity checks.

"Perform a database check" in clamd.conf

"Number of database checks per day" in freshclam.conf
