clamscan (no 'd') does not have a config file at all.
Which options do you want to be different ?
Many of the options are the same. At least as a default I would expect the
  --scan-* --alert-* --max-* --*-pua options to be the same.

(Ignoring the freshclam config) clamscan *does not have a config file*
so there is curently no need for an option
 	--config-file=FILE

As I asked before,
which settings do you expect clamscan to read from this config ?
