Yes ... antibiotics are only effective against bacterial infections not virus.
Silvadeen is neither and both as it contains some silver which is baterio and viro static. Or simply put, inhibits growth.
It only works topically to reduce the pain. And does not interfere or intract with the oral antiviral medications.
I'd have to assume they gave you Zovirax. It is the most common treatment for varcella outbreaks.
Even though you can now get injections to help prevent shingles, I doubt we will never be free of the Varcella virus.

At any rate, glad your feeling better.
