When a member chooses to "opt out" of a war, will their base count toward your clan when searching for a clan to battle?

The only requirement is that a clan must have at least 5 members eligible for war. (This used to be 10, but 5 vs 5 war size is also available now.)
Members who are new to your clan will be ineligible for war if they left their previous clan while a war was in progress. They will become eligible for war again when the previous war is completed. You can check your clan member list to see if any members are ineligible for war, and see when they will be eligible again. If you start the clan war while members are still ineligible, those members will not be able to participate.
You can see when players will be eligible in their profile through clan's chat room.
Currently, only leaders and co-leaders can initiate wars. The clan chat will log the player who started or canceled the clan war search. If you want any more information on clan wars go to their FAQ.

Supercell has not publicly released their matchmaking algorithm and they probably never will.
So at this point it's based on conjecture and user tests. However, from user tests, it seems that once you have your number set for the clan war, matchmaking uses just those bases that are chosen for the clan war.
There's a thread on supercell's forums addressing this, but there is no fully conclusive answer for this.
