AFAIK there's not much projects focussing on 3D in Clojure, but you can take a look at processing (http://processing.org) and one of it's Clojure wrappers. It's a great little language for 2D/3D visuals, and there's plenty of swarm-like demos for it (http://openprocessing.org). For 3D calculations, (verlet) physics and more there's the java library toxiclibs (http://toxiclibs.org), whose author is currently porting/wrapping to Clojure.
It's not really a cut-and-dried solution, but it's pretty flexible and has a simple API unlike a lot of 3D projects which focus very narrowly on games development.
