I think the term came about in fish markets. When a clam is fresh, (alive), it keeps it's shell very tightly closed, (smiling). When it has been out of the water too long, it gets weak and dies, the shell "gapes" open, unhappy. This the fish monger calls his/her fresh clams, "Happy clams".
(P.S. I've been running fresh meat and seafood markets for about thirty years)
