Do you have to clear US customs if you have a stopover in Puerto Rico?

Yes. Puerto Rico is part of the US, including for immigration purposes, and the same rules apply there as in airports in US states. The US does not have sterile transit for international-to-international connections; all passengers must go through US immigration, customs, and TSA security screening.
