Temperature is the first thing that would spring to mind. Clown loaches do best over 80 deg F, which long-term is generally too warm for most species of hillstream loach.
There are other Botiine species that would be suitable for housing with hillstream loaches in slightly cooler water though. Yasuhikotakia nigrolineata or Sinibotia pulchra are the first that spring to mind, both species of which should cause no problems with aggression.
Hope this helps,
Emma
