To my knowledge, Caret won't apply any dynamic volume-based thresholding.  
(Then again, I didn't know about the Cluster Minimum Size feature until you 
told me.)

Most people do this sort of thing by thresholding the volume using some 
volume-oriented tool (e.g., FSL, SPM, AFNI, fidl).  Then they map the resulting 
thresholded volume.
