Bucolique, Bozza
Concerto, Francaix
Concerto, Corigliano
Grand Duo Concertante, Weber (if played fast enough!)
Quintet, Weber
Sonatine, Milhaud
A Set for Clarinet, Martino
The Spohr Concertos
Dancing Solo, Larsen
Concert Pieces Op. 113/114, Mendelssohn

There are many pieces that are virtuosic for the clarinet, including but not limited to those listed above. I think many make the mistake of comparing the difficulty of clarinet music to that of the violin or piano. They are different instruments with different capablities, and thus, different definitions of what is "hard". For example, some of the most difficult pieces I've heard for french horn could be easily tackled by the clarinet, but that doesn't make them any less virtuosic for the french horn.
