Did you verify the files are infected by uploading to Jotti or VirusTotal? If they are, then send them to Clam AV (which furnishes the scan engine and signature database to ClamWin) at https://www.clamav.net/sendvirus/ on the web. When you get to the upload page, tell them the name according to one of the large AVs on Jotti or VirusTotal (Kaspersky, for instance).

Clam will get out a signature in a couple of days, and ClamWin win benefit. Thank you.

Regards,

I have found that Prevx is too agressive when spotting malware--their heuristics are set too high. I would rather see several other scanners on Jotti or VirusTotal verify an infection.
