If a clam does not open when cooked, that usually means the clam was dead before cooking. Do not eat clams that won't open when cooked.
Make sure that the clams have plenty of space to open during the cook. Sometimes the weight on top will prevent opening.
Clams close to protect themselves from predators. If the shell is open, and doesn't close when you disturb the clam, then the clam is dead, may be rotten, and shouldn't be eaten.

Of course you can! You can eat clams, mussels, etc. as long as they are cooked until the shell is opened.(But, make sure the shells are tightly shut BEFORE you put them on to steam/boil. If the mussel is open and you try to shut it and it springs back open, DO NOT COOK/EAT IT! It's already dead and posionous if consumed.
