You can buy a new clamp at an auto parts store, make sure the grease inside the boot is clean and not too wet.

chances are if the boot came off that easily, the cv joint needs to be replaced anyways.

Its much easier to just purchase a brand new axle at napa.

Screwing with the boots is a pain in the *****.
