What did you try to scan your drives with--ClamWin or another AV? Try more than one AV and see if either AV will scan. ClamWin will normally scan CD\USB drives (if anything is there) when you tell it to, but some AVs may not.

Also, can you scan everything else--C drive, USB, etc?

It is unlikely they are infected. I have not seen a floppy infector for years, and there are not many CD viruses. Most viruses/malware will infect the C:\Windows\System32 files or a C:\users\Appdata folder.Try naming your floppy and CD drives with standard names (A or B for floppy, I guess, and D or E for the CD drive) and see if that helps to access them.
