Can you put the command "clear" or "tput clear" in the
shell's login and logout files (globally /etc/csh.login
and /etc/csh.logout, local to the respective user ~/.login
and ~/.logout)?

You can also test those two commands interactively. I
think they are connected to the ^L key, just to make
sure if something's wrong with the /etc/gettytab file.
