I'm not sure what you're expecting here. Do you want emacs to delete what's in the *shell* buffer? Or just scroll it so that nothing is visible but the prompt? FWIW, typing 'clear' in an emacs shell buffer under Linux doesn't have any visible effect either. (Here it runs /usr/bin/clear.) So I don't think this has anything to do with Cygwin.
