I think Lisp was on an upswing before Clojure came around. Certainly, Clojure has helped a great deal but Paul Graham's essays, Practical Common Lisp and a proliferation of libraries relevant to the problems of today's programmers all preceded Clojure and likely contributed to its popularity.
I suspect any significant gains for Prolog will be in the form of Prolog-like DSL libraries for other languages. It looks like there has been some initial work on one for Clojure, incidentally.
