This could not be due to the virus action. I myself experienced that,
if the virus infected an .EXE file, sometimes CLEAN software fails to
recover the file. I am not sure of this, but since Jerusalem often
produces multiple copies of itself in a single .EXE file (a bug, I
guess), the malfunction of CLEAN software could be due to this. These
are my guesses, based on my limited personal experience. Anyway, in
the CLEAN documentation, users are made aware of the possibility of
bad recover of .EXE files.  Somewhere out SIMTEL there is a software
called VKILL, which works very well against Jerusalem virus.
