Among many other ways to do it,

     W = Clip[W, {0, Infinity}]

     Total@W

<snip>

Here is a running example of the above.

X = RandomReal[{0, 1}, 50];
Y = RandomReal[{0, 1}, 50];

BinWidth = 0.2;
Radius = 0.2;

xyzVals2 =
   Table[{i/(1/BinWidth) + (BinWidth/2),
     j/(1/BinWidth) + (BinWidth/2)}, {i, 0, (1/BinWidth) - 1}, {j,
     0, (1/BinWidth) - 1}];

RasterPtsVals = Partition[Flatten[xyzVals2], 2]

RasterX = RasterPtsVals[[All, 1]]
RasterY = RasterPtsVals[[All, 2]]

XDiffSq = (RasterX - a /. a -> X)^2;
YDiffSq = (RasterY - b /. b -> Y)^2;
Dist = Sqrt[(XDiffSq + YDiffSq)];

W = 1 - (Dist/Radius)

W = Clip[W, {0, Infinity}] (* Negative values are set to zero *)

Total@W (* Sum by columns *)

[... output discarded ...]

Here is W

Out[12]= {{-3.44977, -3.42712, -1.38462, -1.26534, -1.08044, \

This is W after clipping
