The blower wheel keeps coming loose and makes a terible racket when it runs. I've tightened the clamp but this time it doesn't seem to stop the wheel from slipping and rubbing against the housing and making that racket again. It also won't dry properly with this noise. Should I just try to replace the clamp with a small hose clamp?

No. Any clamp would not help because the center hole in the blower wheel is worn out. The solution is to replace the blower wheel.
