What is claimed is: 1. An air cleaner for cleaning the intake air of a portable engine, composing: an air cleaner case attached to an upper part of an engine body having a cylinder of the engine: an air cleaner cover disposed on and attached to the air cleaner case; and an air cleaner element held in the air cleaner case and the air cleaner cover, wherein an upstream air passage is formed in the air cleaner cover and a downstream air passage is formed in the air cleaner case, the upstream air passage being disposed upstream of the air cleaner element, the downstream air passage being disposed downstream of the air cleaner element, wherein the air cleaner case is supported on an upper wall of a shroud, the shroud covering upper and side portions of the cylinder so as to form an outer cover of the engine body. 2. The air cleaner for a portable engine according to claim 1, wherein the air cleaner case is supported by the carburetor connected to a side of the cylinder and the shroud covering the cylinder, and wherein the air cleaner case includes a horizontally extending member having a horizontally extending air passage, the horizontally extending member extending over the shroud and the carburetor so as to be supported on the shroud, and a vertically extending member having a vertically extending air passage, the vertically extending member extending downwardly from the horizontally extending member along a side of the carburetor so as to be supported on the carburetor, and an obliquely extending member having an obliquely extending air passage, the obiquely extending member extending obliquely from the horizontally extending member toward the vertically extending member over the carburetor. 3. The air cleaner for a portable engine according to claim 2, wherein the air cleaner case further includes a carburetor cover formed integrally with the air cleaner case, the carburetor cover extending downwardly from the obliquely extending member so as to cover a back of an idle adjusting screw of the carburetor, and an access hole through which the idle adjusting screw is operated being formed in the carburetor cover at a location corresponding to the idle adjusting screw. 4. The air cleaner for a portable engine according to claim 1, further comprising an air intake structure having an air intake passage part through which the intake air is introduced into the air cleaner, the air intake passage part being formed in the air cleaner cover so as to extend from an inlet part thereof exposed to an atmosphere to an exit part thereof opening to a space within the air cleaner cover, the air intake passage part being divided into a plurality of intake passages extending parallel to each other from the inlet part to the exit part, the intake passages respectively having inlets displaced relative to each other with respect to an air flow direction in which the intake air flows. 5. The air cleaner for a portable engine according to claim 4, wherein the plurality of intake passages include an inner passage and an outer passage enclosing the inner passage, the inner passage having the inlet positioned downstream of the inlet of the outer passage with respect to the air flow direction. 6. The air cleaner for a portable engine according to claim 5, wherein a recess is formed in an edge defining the inlet of the outer passage, the recess being formed from a distal end of the edge of the inlet of the outer passage in the air flow direction. 7. The air cleaner for a portable engine according to claim 5, further comprising a plurality of sets of the inner passages and the outer passages, the plurality of sets being arranged contiguously with and parallel to each other. 8. The air cleaner for a portable engine according to claim 4, wherein the plurality of intake passages are contiguous with and parallel to each other, and the inlets of adjacent intake passages are displaced relative to each other with respect to the air flow direction. 9. The air cleaner according to claim 1, wherein the shroud is comprised of a resin. 10. The air cleaner for a portable engine according to claim 9, wherein the air cleaner case is comprised of a resin and molded integrally with the shroud as a single piece.
