Not sure about partially, but you can fully clear your scrollback with Cmd+K. Control+L will only clear the screen, not the scrollback content/history/buffer.

If you want the partial scrollback badly enough, this would probably be the place to implement it.

This is not possible, but you can clear just the screen by pressing Control+L.
