A 2007<a href="http://www.encyclopedia.com/doc/1E1-giantcla.html" rel="nofollow">Columbia Encyclopedia article</a> about them says they can reach up to 500 lb. and be four feet long. However, it also states that claims of people getting trapped are unconfirmed. Not only is the world stranger than we think, it's stranger than we can conceive. I kid you not: the clams exist.

I am a certified diver and have never been warned to look out for giant clams, never seen one either. I remember hearing of them as a kid though. I was thinking the same thing.
