OK here is a picture looks a bit worse than actual but the hole got bigger.
I don;t think this one will make it.   On a positive note the sps that came on the rock of the last clam I bought went from brown to purple with a green rim.   And my Candy cane is doing real well.

that hole is in the shell and called the byssal opening, the foot and byssal organ are usually located inside there. you can actual see the growth lines on the shell conforming to the shape. judging by the size and shape of that opening i would guess that is a crocea. the byssal opening varies depending on species and changes as the clam grows.
my best suggestion is keep on the snail patrol and possibly post a top down pic of the clams, there are many other tell tale signs that may help find any other problems. HTH
