Yes. Specially by creating processing libraries (aka plugin libraries).
See the wiki link.

Ok, I guess you mean you downloaded the last svn-snapshot installer.
When we say "from svn" we use to mean the "code repository".

If you want to distribute a Windows binary, you have to compile CLAM
under Windows (or crosscompile it from Linux, which actually is how we
build the distributed installers).
Though we try to document both ways (native and cross compilation) at
the wiki* I warn you that building for Windows is much more complex (and
requires more skills) than building for Linux, where all the library
dependencies and build tools are ready as distribution packages.

Cheers,
Pau
