But I would like not to expose some memebers of ICollection like Clear method.

You could make it empty or launch a NotImplementedException

What makes you so sure that you really need to implement ICollection? If you don't want some methods from this interface, don't use it, declare a new interface with methods that you want. The whole point of using ICollection is to make other objects think that they can do with your object whatever they can do with any other collection.
