Most distribution package sets for ClamAV will include packages for each 
major component - clamd, freshclam, and the milter shim are usually in 
different packages IME, along with three or four more supporting packages.

I haven't had much contact with any distro using RPM in a while, but I'd 
find it odd to have the milter component man pages without the binaries. 
  Try "rpm -qa |grep -i clam" to see what ClamAV-related packages are 
installed, or "rpm -qf /path/to/manpage-file" to see what package owns 
the manpage.  You might also try "rpm -q --what-provides 
/path/to/clamav-milter-file" if you know the path to one of the milter 
components you're looking for, although with an existing old package 
installed I'm not sure this will give a useful answer.

Various components *do* get moved from package to package now and then, 
although usually by way of splitting functionality out into additional 
packages.

Do you know where the currently installed packages came from?  It looks 
like the ones provided by the upstream ClamAV team don't include the 
milter components for some build-system-rough-spot reason (see 
https://docs.clamav.net/manual/Installing.html).  IIRC from when I was 
on a RHEL-alike, ClamAV was in the EPEL repository.
