I've wondered about that for a while and just checked it:
Running the clang 2.9 Mingw32 binaries through wine on a simple exception 
handling test leads to assembly that misses code for the catch clause as 
well as eh tables (I assume Mingw should use dwarf/unwind based eh).

Compiling with -triple i686-pc-win32 leads to an error
eh.cc:3:14: error: cannot use 'throw' with exceptions disabled.

So I don't think clang can do exceptions on Windows.
