I believe the sequence is this:

Connection
	clamav-milter called - doesn't do anything
	MIMEDefang called - does one particular routine only
HELO or EHLO
	clamav-milter called - doesn't do anything
	MIMEDefang called - does one particular routine only
RCPT
	clamav-milter called - doesn't do anything
	MIMEDefang called - does one particular routine only
DATA
	clamav-milter called - scans virus
	MIMEDefang called - does filter_begin, filter * N, filter_end

If you block via MIMEDefang in the HELO phase, then clamav-milter never does anything.
