Pardon my crazy solution, but it works for me (with jconsole on Terminal), and is worth doing if you find yourself needing to clear the command line a lot. It might just work on non-Mac platforms too.
Enter a single space. (Just pressing Enter won't work) This empty line can now be recovered like any past input via the arrow keys. Oddly, the space doesn't reappear, and it looks like a clean prompt.
