Maybe they were false positives? You should scan with Virustotal to see if they were real or not. https://www.virustotal.com/
Norton has went down hill over the years. They use to be good, but their detection went to the floor. |

Norton's detection on USB and its detection on a PC may differ. Some AVs do not give much attention to USBs--Conficker/other inf malware is not as prevalent as it used to be.
As RRK said--those detections by the Clam AV signatures may have been false positives (they probably are). Scan the files involved with Virus Total for sure. Is is my experience, unfortunately, that if malware is new/not widespread, Clam AV will not have a signature for it. If it does get one, it is very late in the game. It does not have any heuristics to detect suspicious/new malware (that is why Clam Sentinel was developed--to at least give ClamWin users a set of basic heuristics to supplement the poor Clam AV signatures that we have to use). The Clam AV signatures also give too many false positives because the Clam AV false positive "farm" that is used to check new signatures before release does not have enough Windows files (Clam AV was/is primarily a Linux email scanner that has no need for real-time detection of executable files--they refuse to recognize that the files to be detected are run on actual Windows computer systems).
