Currently when searching on Google, the example.com version will appear as opposed to example.com.
I realize that isn't a big deal, however it made me wonder if I should do some of the same things for www that I currently do for the main domain:
Creating sitemaps
Adding example.com to Google Webmaster Tools
Does Google consider doing so to be spamming? Will it make a difference to my rankings?

I would recommended either using the www or non-www and stick with it. Set a preferred URL in Webmaster Tools and then 301 to either your www or non-www.
The reason for this would be Google would see both the non-www and www sites as two separate websites. If the content is exactly the same, then you could be penalized with duplicate content.
