No--it doesn't make you a clean freak but it does make you a person that is very aware of how sick you can get from touching doors, restroom sinks, etc. With all of the diseases now it is very smart to be aware of what is going on. I keep a tiny bottle of hand cleanser in my purse and I use it when shopping.
I'd say you have issues. That isn't normal behaviour at least amongst my family and friends. I'd be worried about it getting worse and ending up like those people you see on Dr Phil.
It's just OCD - Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. Honestly, not that big of a deal. I have it too, just in different ways... Though using a public restroom is my worst nightmare too. >.<
Just try to relax, accept it if need be. If you really hate it, good luck convincing yourself not to care.
