The commander only seems to find the Grass 7 version.
If you do not have to run this through the commander,
you could try to run the 6.4 version of v.clean in the
Processing toolbox. (Processing-> Toolbox).

First, the path to the GRASS folder has to be defined, but only if you are running Windows.".........."Also, if you want to use a different GRASS installation, you can change that setting and point to the folder where the other version is installed.

In the /SAGA/ block, you will find a setting named/SAGA Folder/. Enter the path to the folder where SAGA is installed. Close the configuration dialog, and now you are ready to run SAGA algorithms from QGIS."

Go to Processing-> Options and configuration.
In Providers you will find "GRASS GIS 7 commands" with
the different configuration options.
