It looks like I'm barking up the wrong tree here. When I run the command in 
the terminal I get 

[root at ollie2 
clamav-milter]# /usr/sbin/clamav-milter -c /etc/mail/clamav-milter.conf --nofork=yes
ERROR: No ClamdSocket specified
ERROR: Failed to init the socket pool
[root at ollie2 clamav-milter]# 

It looks like I don't need clamav-milter as it seems to be wanting access to 
the clamd socket in exactly the same way as EXIM, i.e., EXIM wants to talk 
directly to clamd and not clamav-milter. The latter seems to be an interface 
for sendmail.

I'm now looking at getting the clamd service running.  I installed 

clamav-server-sysvinit-0.98.7-1.el7.noarch
clamav-server-systemd-0.98.7-1.el7.noarch

which I expected to give the the systemd unit file as well as the old init 
scripts. However I can't see either.  I also still don't have a 

/etc/clamd.conf
