I voted Pass originally and still voting pass with the given hand.  Take the plus that is coming (if it is coming) and don't drive them to a better fit (if they have one).  After 2S was foolishly doubled for penalty, it is not a crime - just a misdemeanor - by E to Double 3C.  Afterall, it is normal to expect a penalty double to contain some trump tricks as well as other stuff.  However, spade tricks in a club contract are not going to do much for us.
The 2S bidder gambled and won.

Doubling 3C with the 4 aces is automatic (after partner showed "values" by hitting 2S).

Close enough. The problem was the Dbl of 2S.
