Is there a way to keep a fill clock deactivated, then have a player start it with say, a pressure plate or trip wire? It would be like a toggled off redstone clock, but with command blocks.

This is happening because you need at least one block of redstone to point "towards" the track, you can't just run parallel to it. Hopefully this awesome paint diagram will explain what I mean:
/execute @p[rm=6] ~ ~ ~ /say The command worked/execute @p[r=5] ~ ~ ~ /say The command did not work
(both after the /spreadplayers command). The only problem with that is that it will still act as if the command didn't work if a player gets positioned inside the 5 Blocks radius.
EDIT: It is now completely possible with the CommandStat Data Tag:
/blockdataCommand Block Coordinates{CommandStats:{SuccessCountName:"Fake Player Name / Entity / whatever you're gonna use",SuccessCountObjective:"Scoreboard Objective Name"}}
Basically, you can make the SuccessCount output to a scoreboard. See the video below for more info!
.EDIT 2: Maybe I should mention that you can then do some sort of execute on the entity if it has a score of at least 1. Also, you should set the score back to 0 at the end of every tick (/cycle of the clock).

You don't even need the fill clock. Just connect your signal source (Pressure plate or anything else) with a Repeat command block. The repeat command block (version 1.9+) will have the command you want. Repeat command blocks execute the command they have each tick (20x a second) when powered with Redstone signal.
