Please state exactly *which* documentation in questions like this.

as a separate package.
Can anyone please advise how I get this installed.
You have installed from a Debian package. I can't say I'd recommend
that if you're capable of installing from the sources. Although it's
much quicker and easier to install a package, you then have to live
with Debian's little insanities. One of them is that to get clamconf
you need to install the Debian package 'clamav-daemon'.
https://packages.debian.org/bullseye/amd64/clamav-daemon/filelist
This will in all probablility start the clamd daemon and chew up a
gigabyte of RAM indefinitely, which maybe you didn't want it to do.
Alternatively you might be able to just pilfer the clamconf binary
from that package and drop it in /usr/bin/.
System Info:
==========
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Debian
Description: Debian GNU/Linux 11 (bullseye)
Release: 11
Codename: bullseye
Package details:
============
Package: clamav
Version: 0.103.3+dfsg-0+deb11u1
Priority: optional
Section: utils
Maintainer: ClamAV Team <pkg-clamav-de...@lists.alioth.debian.org>
Installed-Size: 794 kB
Files the package installed into /usr/bin:
=============================
1) clambc
2) clamscan
3) clamsubmit
4) freshclam
Perhaps the maintainer had a reason not to put clamconf in that list,
maybe because in addition to looking for freshclam.conf, clamconf also
looks for clamd.conf (which is also in the clamav-daemon package). In
this case the way Debian has broken the ClamAV into pieces for its
packages seems, well, broken - and probably not now easily fixable.
