Hello,

clipped_by { plane { x, 0 } plane { -z, 3.0 } }

What is it?

clipped_by { plane { x, 0 } plane { -z, 3.0 } }

Alone, this does nothing. Use in an object to subtract those planes from it, 
such as shown here:

sphere { 0, 4
    clipped_by {
        plane { x, 0 } plane { -z, 3.0 }
    }
    pigment {color rgb 1}
}

Also, texturing (pigment, etc.) is not allowed for the clipping object 
itself.
