How do you locate clog in the drain pipe?
If it is not in the trap, then it usually can only be located by "snaking" the pipe with a plumber's snake, a length of braided steel cable with a pincer or spiral spring end. The snake can be pushed through the pipe easily until it meets the obstruction, where it stops. Rotating the snake then bores through the obstruction, or, alternately, latches on to it so it can be pulled out.
