off the top of my head, a survey of literature shows:
VC: use of bass clef up to isolated G's and A's (A played as a harmonic is usually notated in bass clef), around which point the tenor is used (especially if more than three or four notes warrant its use); treble clef as soon as it hits even one C, regardless of surrounding notes.
VLA: up to G quite common in alto clef; i don't recall seeing a specific note (A or B) which immediately invokes the treble clef...
obviously there are exceptions in the literature, but off the top of my head, this is what i've seen.
as mentioned by others, better to avoid excessive clef changes if possible, and avoid low notes in treble clef.
