This isn't about clamav-milter, it's about your system and the way it
does things.  Try reading some of the the systemd 'man' pages, e.g.

man systemctl
man systemd.socket
man systemd.syntax

and if that doesn't help search for something like

systemctl unit files

with which you will probably need to get used to tinkering.

If you have 'locate' on your system you could also try

locate .socket | grep clam

which might find your clamav-milter systemd .socket file.

I admit (profess?) I much prefer to do things like this myself, rather
than have something like systemd do it for me, but it seems to be The
Way Of The World at the moment.
