I would not discard Panda as a viable AV just because of the icon. It is better to use something like the Task Manager or Process Explorer (easier to see) to check.) (More generally it can be a bit random which Notification Area icons re-appear after an Explorer restart, but this does not necessarily mean that the underlying program is no longer running. So I think that the Panda AV does continue to run after an Explorer restart, but the icon does not re-appear. Then I opened the console “PSUAMain.exe” (the thing that the notification icon relates to) and again re-started Explorer and the console remained open and functional (I could check for updates) afterwards. I re-started Windows Explorer and these 3 things remained running throughout and afterwards, but the Panda Notification Area icon is no longer visible. I opened Sysinternals “Process Explorer” to see the 2 Panda services “PSUAService.exe” and “PSANHost.exe”, and the console executable “PSUAMain.exe”. As a Windows 7 Panda AV user I was intrigued by your sentence “I made my Explorer crash to see if Avast reloads itself, it did it, Panda didn’t.”
