Ooops! As the documentation says, adding 'eshell-truncate-buffer' to
'eshell-output-filter-functions' does the trick. Sorry.

Maybe this modification of 'eshell-truncate-buffer' is useful for the
OP:

(defun eshell-clears-buffer ()
  "Deletes the contents of eshell buffer, except the last prompt"
  (interactive)
  (save-excursion
    (goto-char eshell-last-output-end)
    (let ((lines (count-lines 1 (point)))
          (inhibit-read-only t))
      (beginning-of-line)
      (let ((pos (point)))
        (if (bobp)
            (if (interactive-p)
                (error "Buffer too short to truncate"))
          (delete-region (point-min) (point))
          (if (interactive-p)
              (message "Buffer cleared")))))))
