0 day viruses and browser exploits will always get through your anti-virus program no matter which one you use, sorry to inform you of that leet kiddies. Thats why resident checkers are becoming useless resource hogs, they simply do not and cannot protect you against everything, and most do nothing for browser exploits.
Thats not what clamwin is for, you use clamwin to test files you have downloaded if you are suspicious of the source and to do regular system scans, say once a week on certain folders or your who hard drive. Its main use is for servers where files are uploded by anonymous sources, or mail servers to check attachments.

ClamAV is the best free antivirus for Linux. Just because there are better alternatives on Windows (eg. AntiVir) doesn't make this one a bad program.

just 2 outdated for its time , Avira is the best windows based virus program hands down.

I use a hostfile and proxy IE. I do not need a realtime scanner. This is perfect for me. If you know a lot of garbage passes through your pc (or you mistakenly download some strange files -on a regular basis no doubt), then this is most definitely not the av for you.
