I don't know if you can find a clamp that small. Maybe you could twist a copper wire the viton as a clamp if it leaks.

I would recommend that if you use the wire method, you wrap the wire around the hose twice, so that the tension is even around the exterior of the hose, otherwise there will be reduced pressure on the hose at the point where it is twisted. This invites leaks.
