1.) I think the primary reason is: ClamWin is scan on-demand only. It is not proactive and you have to run it manually to scan for viruses. There are alternatives based on ClamAV though, like Moon Secure, I believe. But that isn't ClamWin, is it?

2.) This is somewhat anecdotal since I can neither cite or vouch for the quality of the tests done, but ClamWin has done very poorly in regards to virus detection in a couple of 'big' comparisons I've seen.

yes, but there is a reason it is a non-ondemand scanner. It definitely takes up less system resources. I used to use norton corporate but it got worse and worse and kept bogging down the system. I've been using clam win with no issues.
