The clam's shell has growth rings on them. All you have to do is count.
Clams grow slightly bigger each year as they age. The put an extra bit on the edge of their shell to accommodate this and you can estimate a clams age by counting the ridges of this shell addition.

You can tell if a clam is alive by observing if its shell is tightly closed or slightly open. If the clam is alive, it will try to close its shell tight when handled. A dead clam will have a gaping, gaping, or broken shell.

Baby clams look like small, pale larvae. They do not have shells, gills, etc. until they mature, and they do not develop a foot until they are around 24 days old.
