Advice on naming files for a plugin

There’s certainly no need to name plugin files with prefixes (although some plugin authors like to do this). I suspect the advice you read was referring to functions within your plugin files. Structuring you plugin folders as you suggest (using a class folder) is fine.

See this link for more information on writing plugins:

http://codex.wordpress.org/Writing_a_Plugin

Specifically the section “Plugin Development Suggestions” towards the end where it says:

All the functions in your Plugin need to have unique names that are different from functions in the WordPress core, other Plugins, and themes. For that reason, it is a good idea to use a unique function name prefix on all of your Plugin’s functions. A far superior possibility is to define your Plugin functions inside a class (which also needs to have a unique name).
