I thought that a C Class ticket yielded a (free) stopover
I would hope that C would, because a cheapie Economy sometimes will. I was just pricing an el-cheapo from LAX-HKG-SIN-NRT-LAX in discounted Economy and even this low fare permited one stopover anywhere except Hawaii. Two day stopover in Hong Kong...no problem. Additional stopovers could be purchased for $125 each.
But to answer your question, there is no "general rule." The "rules" on this are determined by the particular fare basis that you purchased, although it's has been my experience that most C fare rules are fairly consistant, and I'm a bit surprised your C fare did not permit at least one stopover.
