An already posted solution is:

(defun kai-eshell-erase-buffer ()
  "Erase contents of Eshell Buffer."
  (interactive)
  (let ((eshell-buffer-maximum-lines 0))
    (eshell-truncate-buffer)))

And with:

(defalias 'eshell/clear 'kai-eshell-erase-buffer)

you type "clear RET" in an eshell-buffer and it behaves as expected.

What exactly do you want to have available in eshell? The aliases get
stored in ~/.eshell/alias and their syntax is a bit different.

When typing the same unknown command into eshell several times (3 or 4),
you get asked for an alias definition.
