Also, does my 3♣ say anything about my club holding?

No surprise there will be plenty of kinks in BBO's implementation of Drury. Double of a Drury call is usually played as a takeout of the Major. Here it wasn't made clear what suit the double was takeout for, and the call obviously does not match the description. THIS is a bug.

3C should be a game, or slam, try. I would not play, especially in the former case, that it guarantees the A.
I honestly don't know where BBO finds their descriptions of some of the conventions GIB plays. Many are very much non-mainstream, including the oft-mentioned Lebensohl over weak 2's.

"Is usually played as" is an overbid. Perhaps in some circles. In my experience, the double of a Drury 2♣ bid usually shows clubs.
