you can add the clear command to your .bash_logout file (if you use
bash) which will do it, or the better way would be to change your
gettys to mingettys for the virtual terminals, mingetty is a
lightweight version of getty that does not support serial terminals
(why do you need that for a VC anyway?)
to do that edit your /etc/inittab and replace the lines starting
gettys to mingettys.
if that is not an option you can do the following:
clear > tmp
cat /etc/issue >> tmp
mv tmp /etc/issue
that should clear the screen whenever /etc/issue is displayed.
