Australia currently lead the five-match series 4-0.
Clarke's right hamstring was assessed by the team medical staff following the fourth ODI on Friday, which the home team won, and the physiotherapist has confirmed that Clarke has hamstring stiffness.
While there is no cause for alarm, the 31-year-old will not travel to Melbourne for the fifth ODI as a precaution. He will leave for Chennai for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy February 12, as planned.
Shane Watson will captain Australia at the Melbourne Cricket Ground while Shaun Marsh has been added to the squad and will travel to Melbourne on Saturday ahead of the match.
Chris Gayle was left out on Friday after hurting his left side during the third ODI and he will again have a fitness test on Sunday before his availability is decided. Tino Best should retain his place after bowling well at SCG, where he took the place of Kemar Roach.
Sunil Narine caused a few problems for Australia's top order in the fourth game, beating Phillip Hughes in flight and accounting for Aaron Finch with variation in pace.
Teams from:
Australia: Shane Watson (captain), Matthew Wade (wk), Ben Cutting, James Faulkner, Phillip Hughes, Clint McKay, Mitchell Starc, George Bailey, Xavier Doherty, Aaron Finch, Mitchell Johnson, Glenn Maxwell
West Indies: Darren Sammy (captain), Chris Gayle, Ramnaresh Sarwan, Darren Bravo, Johnson Charles (wk), Tino Best, Sunil Narine, Kieran Powell, Andre Russell, Devon Thomas (wk), Dwayne Bravo, Narsingh Deonarine, Jason Holder, Kieron Pollard, Kemar Roach
