you need to write PL/SQL to process the LOB a chunk (less than 4000 characters) at a time to replace the double quote marks

You cannot expect SQL*Loader to be able to tell where the clob data ends when it contains both the delimiter character of comma and enclosure characters of double quotes. You need to find a way to get the data in another format with a different field delimiter.

If you can't get the data in another format and there is just the id, clob, and date, in that order, then you could load everything after the id into the clob, then parse out the date in an update statement after loading. This might require that you load into a staging table, then do the update, then insert from the staging table into the target table.
