The clamd and clamav-milter `--help` message and manpages do not mention the `--pid` (`-p`) option. The clamd `--help` message and manpage do not mention the `--datadir` option. Also corrected minor punctuation issues, and removed the meaningless jargon about the "main thread" which has nothing to do with the PID.

STRING -> FILE (referenced in next line)
Or: "Write daemon's pid to filename contained in STRING"

Hm same issue exists in clamav-milter.conf.5.in. Will fix both.
It's a pretty deep rabbithole to make it use FILE for both, or STRING for both. So many other options just say STRING and then something like "the specified file."
So I think I'll change it to "the specified file." to match those. Good catch!
