A cluster is a group of computers (typically servers) that function as a cohesive unit. They are typically connected via LANs. You would want to cluster servers for example so that if one fails the others immediately pick up the slack.
There are three types of clusters.
1. Failover Clusters (aka High Availability) operate by having redundant nodes, which are then used to provide service when system components fail. The most common size for an HA cluster is two nodes, which is the minimum requirement to provide redundancy. HA cluster implementations attempt to use redundancy of cluster components to eliminate single points of failure. With a HA Cluster such as this you could have 99.999% uptime.
2. Load-balancing clusters are when multiple computers are linked together to share computational workload or function as a single virtual computer.
3. Compute clusters simply do what is referred to as supercomputing often needed for simulations.

What is a cluster virus?
A type of computer virus that associates itself with the execution of programs by modifying directory table entries to ensure the virus itself will start when any program on the computer system is started. If infected with a cluster virus it will appear as if every program on the computer system is infected; however, a cluster virus is only in one place on the system.
