In the Jimmy, Jerry goes to his dentist, and while not verbally confirmed, you can see his shirt was tucked into his pants before he went under anesthesia and is untucked afterwards (implying he was assaulted by his dentist and the assistant while under). He has a conversation with Elaine about being "damaged goods."

[SPOILER for S5E4 “The Sniffing Accountant”] the characters suspect an accountant is a cocaine addict because he sniffs a lot, but he ends up just having an allergy to the material of a character’s sweater.

Not a clown per se, but in one episode Kramer has a ventriloquist doll who at the end of the episode who appears to be alive and running around at night in Jerry's apartment. This takes place in season 8, episode 8.

Also a character called Crazy Joe Davolva dressed up as a clown and acts threatening toward a couple of people, including Kramer who is scared of clowns. This takes place in season 4, episode 9 called the Opera
