Partner is a strong declarer. What will it be now, 3NT or go for slam?

"Slam", at least looking for it, so 4♣. A modest (albiet useful) xx Kx Axx KQJxxx looks like slam to me. Or Qxx x KQx KQxxxx. Many minimum hands make slam good.

Opener should not have more than 1♠ and 2♥ (I suppose that 2♥ showed 5 cards).

So his minimum hand should be more like: x xx KQxx AKxxxx

But of cause 4♣ it is.

Partner didn't bid 3C just to affirm a minimum with real clubs, did he? The "I had to show my clubs weren't 2-cards" bid.

I expect near S-x, H-xx, D-AKQx, C-KQJxxx. May be surprised with delayed H-support wanted to affirm good clubs first.

4C.

What's wrong with 3♠?

Also, he rates to not have a heart void when he leads the ♥3.

Well not to point out the obvious, but bidding 4♣ is not forcing to slam.
