That means that when Clarke wrote the book, he didn't know that Europa would contain an oxygen atmosphere.
How is that relevant? We've already gone over the fact that the Europan oxygen discovered by Hubble has no bearing whatsoever with regard to possible life on Europa; it cannot support life nor does its presence have anything at all to do with biological processes. I don't see how that counts as any sort of prophesy on Clarke's part.
