Yes, for me .clisprc is not loaded. 

I am on Windows 7, CLISP 2.49, Emacs 23.2.1, slime-20110730-cvs.

In .emacs I have 
(setq inferior-lisp-program "clisp.exe")

And another possibility would be to install quicklisp loader (or init file loader) 
is CUSTOM:*INIT-HOOKS* (http://www.clisp.org/impnotes/custom-init-fini.html#init-hooks).

E.e.  
   (push (lambda () (load (merge-pathnames "my-clisp-init.lisp" (user-homedir-pathname)))))
before saving the image [the code is not tested].
