Make sure /usr/bin is in your "PATH" by doing 'echo $PATH'. But I guess it already is. Also make sure you have /usr/bin/vim.

/usr/bin is already there in the "PATH".
i don't have vim in /usr/bin instead i have vi. that is /usr/bin/vi

If for any reason vim didn't make it to your /usr/bin, than try installing it again, maybe this time with -f option, and watch for any error during installation.

Are you sure pacman successfully installed vim? Maybe it exited with error. For me, every time I want to install vim, I have to remove /usr/bin/rview manually because it fails complaining about that file

If there'll be any problems with vim from official repos, I can recommend you cvim from AUR, which is also built with X clipboard support.

You can try gvim in the official repo. It is not just gvim, it contains console vim too.

the -f option did it's trick.
