I have 5 Turbo snails in my 75 gallon tank right now, I'm going to put another 5 in next week to help keep up with some of the cleaning... as far as their size, I buy them rather small as I can from my LFS. But I do not own any clams in my tank right now, so I don't know if that would change anything...

As long as your clams have firmly attached themselves to a substrate having large snails isn't a problem. If your clams are loose the snails could potentially knock them down and injure the clams. I personally like mexican turbo snails. They're large and do a great job of cleaning.
