What did you do, what did you see, what did you expect to see?  You're not 
going to get "nothing". When you read the SPI data port, you're going to get 
something.

I have a one channel ADC with MISO/CLK/CS lines only. If I only bring the CS 
down  in order to initiate a conversion, I get nothing

On the other hand, if I just send a command to the transmission register (as I 
usually do with multiple channel ADCs (these have a standard interface)), I 
still get nothing.

The SPI interface works great when operated in 4-wire mode.
