Clarke has scored just once in nine appearances since his £750,000 move from Coventry, where he left as League One's top scorer with 18 goals.
The 29-year-old's two misses in Tuesday's 0-0 draw at Stevenage have been indicative of his struggles to find the net so far.
Jackett praised Clarke's other attributes, saying: "We haven't got a player like him that can give us some hold-up play and some physical qualities.
"His work outside the box and his workrate has been excellent. The good thing is he's having chances – if he wasn't creating chances, I would worry."
