I opened up a avi file in virtualdub and trimmed the clip and clicked "Save as avi" and it saved the trimmed clip but it was 3 times the size of the original clip. How can that be?

You most likely went from a compressed AVI to an Uncompressed AVI as stated by szeli – Moab Apr 5 '11 at 2:54

it can be due to the codecs involved. different codecs offer different compression rates and quality. when you 'Save as avi' did you check which codec was it configured to use?
