There are many. In Classical Music, there are varieties of woodwind quartets and quintets, which usually include one or more clarinets along with flute, oboe, and bassoon. Clarinet choirs consist of different varieties of clarinets, Bb soprano, Eb alto and Bb bass being the most common. Then there are bands and orchestras.
In jazz, clarinets can be wonderful with a rhythm section (some combination of piano, string bass, drums and guitar). Listen to Benny Goodman's small group recordings, and be amazed. Also search for Eddie Daniels. He has many wonderful recordings posted on line.
Big band sax players often double on clarinet, as well. Benny Goodman, again, as well as Artie Shaw featured clarinet. Glenn Miller used clarinet a lot, but not usually a feature.
Finally, if you are up to developing your own arrangements, clarinets cam be combined with almost any combination of instruments. Clarinet has huge range and blends well with other instruments.
