So is it safe to assume that the 1.8% without AV spent the 12 mil on cleanup?


Nope.

That 1.8% will be disproportionaltely Mac OS/OS X and Linux-ish users.  
Their cleanup costs will almost certainly be higher per machine, BUT 
their incidence rate should be lower even though they don't use AV, 
etc...
