First, let me shamelessly plug Gorilla REPL http://gorilla-repl.org . It's a notebook type REPL, which I think works well as an environment for the sort exploratory programming of that's common when analysing data. We use it for science-involving-data every day in our research group, and I think a few others do too.
Regarding the question, my guess at the answer would be "fashion". My experience has been that Clojure is a fine environment for technical computing. It's not as complete, library wise, as the alternatives, so it's sometimes a struggle. But it has some strengths over the others too (deployment, in particular - and I find Java is a really nice low-level escape hatch, compared to the alternatives). My guess is that it would take some high profile organisation to adopt it as a data science platform, and talk about it a lot, for it to really catch on, because that seems to be how fashion works!
