clamwin doews not have an on-access scanner and does not monitor files in real- time. You need to manually scan a file in order to detect a virus.
Clamwin uses midified custom-built clamav scanning engine.

Clam Antivirus is for mail servers run under the Linux (and related) operating system.

ClamWin puts a graphical user interface (GUI) on Clam so it can be run under Windows. It uses the Clam antivirus engine and is completely dependent upon it. As Alch said, ClamWin isn't yet a resident (on access) antivirus, but maybe one day...
