What is the difference between reacting and dissolving?
CCl4 is a covalent compound (having no free ions). Thus it cannot enter into an ionic reaction/double displacement reaction.

Basic Requisites for checking reactivity


Reactivity Series (Elements higher up in the series replace the lower elements)
Checking whether bonds are covalent or ionic (You might just need to remember which compounds are which type. Some compounds can have both type of bonds)


Bonds


Ionic = "Ionic bonding is a type of chemical bond that involves the electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions. These ions represent atoms that have lost one or more electrons (known as cations) and atoms that have gained one or more electrons (known as anions)." Wikipedia
Thus the elements can take or give electrons. In a solution they exist as ions.
Covalent = "A covalent bond is a chemical bond that involves the sharing of electron pairs between atoms. These electron pairs are known as shared pairs or bonding pairs and the stable balance of attractive and repulsive forces between atoms when they share electrons is known as covalent bonding." Wikipedia
Thus it has no free electrons to give or take.
