It's just a name.  Laziness rules in the sysadmin world and clamav is
shorter than clamav-milter.  :-)  The most important part of that line
is the path to the clmilter.sock, which is put there by the
clamav-milter process (assuming *it* is configured properly and
started).  

The second most important thing is F=T, which means to tempfail if
communication to the milter fails.  The reason this is important is
because if you all of a sudden start sending lots of viruses or spam (in
the case of the spamassassin milter) and the failure mode is set to F=
instead of F=T, the mail gets sent through.
