The only thing I can think of is that it was a 4 year old car that had probably never been clayed and probably needed two packs of clay and even more folding than I gave it.

Are you sure you didn't have scratches before the clay? I've never heard of a clay bar causing scratches unless, as suggested, it's been dropped and contaminated. I use clay frequently and have never had it cause scratches.
You can put a drop cloth undre the section you're claying, so if you drop it, it won't touch the floor.
Claying is just the first step after a wash. You should follow it up with a good swirl remover, then polish, then sealant, then wax, and finally an anti-static solution for a beautiful and protective shine.
