It depends on a number of factors, namely how quickly it was chilled before refrigeration (i.e. blast chiller, water cooled or just allowed to cool naturaly- the quicker it's chilled the longer it will last), and on your refrigerator's operating temperature. It should be between 0 and 5 degrees c., and this should be checked periodically with an accurate thermometer.

Basically, the less time your clam broth spends in the bacterial "danger temp. zone" (between 5 deg. c. and 60 deg. c., when bacteria breed and are most active) the longer it will be safe to eat. If your clams were fresh when cooked, and chilled properly and quickly, then up to 3 days, in my opinion. But check carefully for signs of spoilage before eating shellfish AFTER ANY STORAGE PERIOD. The associated food poisoning is extremely unpleasant and debilitating.

If in doubt, chuck it out.

Oh, and when you reheat, do it thoroughly, in Scotland it would legally have to be 82 degrees plus for a few minutes in the catering industry.

How would one differentiate smooth clam sauce from minced clam sauce?

If its minced, you are going to have chunks, albeit small ones, of clams in the sauce. A smooth one, though I've never heard of it, I believe would involve a sauce made with just the clam broth. Clam broth can be used as a base, much as chicken broth is, for a dish that involves seafood. For example, if your making pasta with shrimp, and just shrimp, you can make a sauce for that using clam broth.
