I completely forgot about that, Christopher. As you know, all CS2 and older apps are all PowerPC code so will not run directly in any OS newer than 10.6.x.
I logged in with my Adobe ID, and the CS2 downloads and activation codes are still there. Heck, you can grab the entire suite if you want.
In late 2012, when I first heard about Adobe offering a free download and serial number to CS2, I ran over there and downloaded it and installed it! Apparently the word got out, as soon Adobe added a restrictive notice to that download site that the ability to download and use the serial number for CS2 was only for previously licensed users of CS2 (maybe they lost their serial number; I do not totally understand that rationale).
However I ignored that restriction since it did not exist when I downloaded CS2. Later Adobe moved the download page to a restriction that required an Adobe ID login. I never attempted to do that log in, as I presume that it would attempt to again impose its restriction on me.
Is that restriction still there behind the Adobe ID login?

It may be that when the OP referred to "ClarisWorks", he is actually using AppleWorks 6
If that's the case the OP can run Appleworks 6 and even CS2 in Snow Leopard Server installed into Parallels for continued use in Mavericks:
