IMO it was potentially on its way out when you bought it. Clams are funny that way, they look completely fine even if they're sick and then overnight they're done. I find usually scavengers don't bother them unless there is already a problem (or you have some of those monster sized bristle worms that eat everything). Next time place a snail shell or something solid underneath the bottom of the clam for it to attach to and that way it won't be vulnerable to attack from below.
