ClamAV does not document malware behavior and many of the signatures are automated in response to samples provided by others, so even the signature team won't have that kind of information.

Your best bet would be to upload each of those files to <https://www.virustotal.com <https://www.virustotal.com/>> and see if any other scanners that detected them as infected have documentation to share on their behavior.
