Well, I haven't found an explicit explanation for the lack of ClickOnce Deployment options for my project, but I have discovered the following:

When creating a WPF or WinForms project the Deployment options I am looking for are present, so this is not a VS 2013 issue.

The only other thing I can guess is that the web deployment options are limited because the project is an Outlook Add In.

The steps for using ClickOnce with Office Solutions are described here - https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb772100(v=vs.120).aspx

So I ended up adding the manifest file (.vsto) as an IIS MIME type and using the link http://theserver/myapp/outlook2013/Outlook_Jazz.vsto to distribute and update the application.

On a side note, I found these very important considerations if you intending to make use of ClickOnce:
