Lol That's a pretty narrow way to determine something xD Just because Fay smiled didn't mean he was happy. And Syaoran had a piece of "Syaoran'"s heart but when he was a child he wasn't able to show any facial expressions at first. Expression of feelings takes more than just the possession of a heart.
I would elaborate the idea about the heart thingy... This is MORE than just zero expression as in Cloney is not showing his emotion out!! My thought of Cloney after reading Chapter 209: I think instead of saying Cloney has grown a heart; I believe is better to say he has a conscious or maybe "awareness". Since if a person has a heart, it will certainly come with emotion/feeling and when he stabbed himself and got stabbed by FWR, his expression NEVER changed!! He didn't even FEEL any pain that is totally different from your example of "because Fay smiled didn't mean he was happy." He is still the same person that feel nothing and has no emotion. Though somehow through the process of C|Sakura's incident... maybe "something" within him somehow give him awareness
[or maybe his body memories completely take over the clone program and that he is acting according to his body memory]And as for your saying of "And Syaoran had a piece of "Syaoran'"s heart but when he was a child he wasn't able to show any facial expressions at first."
he only had half a heart at the beginning and it was something that's force into him.... he was NOT a child who wasn't able to... BUT he was a created being in which emotion is not something that was supposely built into him.... Despite he was given half a heart, but that is different than a human who was born with a heart. At the beginning, it is something that is NOT nature to him until times went by that Cloney had adapted to "that heart" as he grew up during the 7 years!!

For instance, if death was merely limited to having a body-the C!Sakura is most certainly dead. Her soul was destoryed (which to me is an ultimate death), while her body lives. So, is she still alive, technically? Well, a part of her is! Her body! Which is only the piece of the massive puzzle to what is considered "life."
As you said, Clamp has distinguished between
(1) Body (2) Heart (3) Soul as 3 separate component for an existance of human being!! For a complete human, all 3 are necessary to exist.... However, I believe the most important part and the definition of TRC's death would be if a person soul is gone!! In which, we can say accurately that R|Sakura, despite her body was destroyed during the process of cloning at the beginning; however, her soul still lives on and safely "trapped" in the tube by FWR!! So, we can say R|Sakura is alive!! However, to the contrast... despite C|Sakura's body is remain but it is only a lifeless form that has no difference than a corpse.... C|Sakura's soul was stabbed and disappeared into Cherry Blossom... the soul is the most essential part for basic functionality and varies things that would resemble a "living" person/being!! So, C|Sakura IS considered dead
As for the heart.... from my understanding, it is directly related toward feeling, emotion and will!! In Clamp's establish universe for TRC.... a person can live WITHOUT a heart just as Cloney during Tokyo arc... he had no emotion, and even if his arm was broken, he felt no pain. However, Cloney can still move, fight and follow orders from FWR.... we can say he is VERY MUCH alive!! So in the end, I believe that Cloney had both
body and soul... until this chapter... he ONLY has his
soul left!!!! So, his
soul IF it is properly stored or exist somewhere [like C|Sakura previously in which her soul was living in dreamworld]... Cloney could still considered as alive!?
