Minimum is 0.001". There is no maximum. Basically, if the valves don't hit the pistons, you are o.k. Just remember when claying a motor with VTEC, that the VTEC rocker arm must be engaged. A VTEC motor that is o.k. on the non-VTEC lobes may destroy itself when VTEC kicks in, if there is not enough clearance. I personally like at least 0.020" of piston to valve clearance, so that there is a small margin for error.
