As we know the cause of comp. strength development is "disjoining effect" in hardened cemetitious materials up to 200-300 oC, the increase could have been resulted by the effect in your concretes with nanoclay. Moreover, because the clays have more expansion and shrinkage capasity with temperature and moisture content, the strength increase effect can be more pronounced. Of course this is my idea. I don't have any proof.
pozzolanic reaction is an expected result. Moreover, developed C-S-H gel productions that have lower C/S ratio than ordinary C-S-H could have been formed in some condition (avaible siliceous material and at certain temperatures) such as tobermorite like structure and xonotlite
