After 3 days I sanded it and started seeing the milky spots. I applied two more coats of epoxy and did a final sanding before varnish and the blotchy milky finish got a lot worse.

From this description, and after looking at the picture, my guess would be that the epoxy wasn't hard enough to sand. If it's still even a bit 'rubbery' then sanding won't produce a smooth surface. In the pic, the 'white' areas seem to be only where the sandpaper contacted the surface, not really a flaw in the epoxy.
