Can anyone suggest music for two clarinets, a viola and piano, please?

Difficult one. I am not aware of any original literature (and my favourite online catalogues aren't either).
But there is a silver lining: it is known that in the baroque age a common practice was to play the basso continuo melodic line on a viola if no proper bass instrument was available (see e.g. Quantz "Versuch einer Anleitung ..."). So any Trio sonata could do -- provided that the bass line does not cross the melody lines.
Good luck then -- and keep the balance: your violist deserves a chance to be heard...
Regards

Have you looked at - Music-scores.com - it is a large site with lots of scores for virually all instruments and ensembles. There may be something there that will help you.
Good luck

I will check out the website. One more question, is there Chamber music for two clarinets and piano. I know there are duets with accompaniment, but is there music that invovles the piano as an instrument, not as accompaniment to the two clarinets?

The Mendelssohn Konzertstuecke might qualify - the piano part is pretty significant. Most editions come with 2 clarinet parts (one substituting for the original basset horn part).
