If by shell you mean, in both cases, a Terminal session, the reason is
probably in your PATH. What you did manually, "check the usual places"
is exactly what the PATH variable is for. Check that your desktop's
PATH variable has the directory that contains SpamAssassin. If not,
add it in the .bash_profile or .profile or .tshrc [depending on your
shell] and start a new session. The shell will find it then.

What I am confused about is why one machine (my desktop) cannot find
SpamAssassin in the shell, but my laptop (running a nearly identical
configuration) apparently CAN find SpamAssassin in the shell.  I
worked around the problem for now by having my application check the
usual places that SpamAssassin gets installed.
