Vaughn,

As Ged mentioned, it is not necessary to run clamconf in order to gererate any conf flies. Installation takes care of all that.

In order to see the freshclam.conf info, you need to run it as root;

sudo clamconf

clamav-milter is a third party ClamAV tool, so if you didn't install it, there won't be any clamav-milter.conf.

You have to run clamconf this way in order to pickup freshclam.conf
