<p>So if I'm running a full node on Bitcoin ABC, where can I find the file or files which contain the blockchain when it is being downloaded?
The folder in Program Files is too small, I think, to contain the blockchain.</p>

As per the documentation https://github.com/Bitcoin-ABC/bitcoin-abc/blob/master/doc/files.md
blocks/blk000??.dat: block data (custom, 128 MiB per file); since 0.8.0

These files should be in C:/Users/(username)/AppData/Roaming/Bitcoin which is the standard app data directory.
