No, clotrimazole is an antifungal medication.
BV is caused by bacteria and can only be treated and cured with antibiotics like metronidazole or clindamycin.
Take care!

I've had yeast infections problem over 4 years. I tried everything, of course I went to the DR. about a hundred times, probably not that many, but it sure seems like it. It never did any good for long and caused all kinds of other issues having to do with taking too many antibiotics. It wasn't until I stumbled upon the information on this site
( http://yeastinfectionnomore.tipstoday.info/18-natural.html ), that my life changed completely. I'm feeling so much better now, my quality of life returned and every one of the symptoms had gone.
Although yeast infection (known by the names of Candida, Monilia or Thrush) is in fact a very common condition, (as three out of four women develop it at some point in their lifetimes), it is little discussed. Most people regard candida infection as a ‘on the surface’ problem that should be treated with creams and antibiotics whereas few are aware of its potentially risky complications. So going to doctors it's a bad idea not because it makes you feel uncomfortable, it's because they will prescribe antibiotics until something works, it could take even 1 year to treat a yeast infection like this.
To effectively overcome candida infection, you need to be aware of the real cause of yeast infection and be able to identify its symptoms. You need to know how to self-test and diagnose your candida condition, learn about the dietary principals needed to maintain a candida free environment and about the complimentary treatments that will help you battle against the negative effects and complications of your yeast infection.

No - clotrimazole is for fungal/yeast infections such as thrush, and will have no affect on bacterial vaginosis whatsoever. That needs to be treated with antibiotics. Which might, in turn, lead to a yeast infection (antibiotics are one of the main causes of yeast infections) - at which point the clotrimazole might prove useful!
