clams will try to move around to find desirable conditions, there may be something he doesn't like in the spot you have chosen. as recommended by others, half bury a small flat rock ( or similar ) down in the sand and place the clam on top, he will attach in time if he's happy. then you can move the clam and his rock around in the tank.

what type of lighting and how much flow do you have??

I think I found the spot where it likes, it looks good and hasn't moved. So how long does it take for it to grab hold with its foot?
