You can find all applicable clients with something like...

p4 -ztag clients | grep -C3 'Owner <usr>'

...then you can find what's open on each of them...

p4 opened -C <that-client>

In fact, the following ought to do it...

for client in `p4 -ztag clients | grep -C3 '^\.\.\. Owner <user>' |
  awk '/^\.\.\. client/ { print $3 }'`; do
  p4 opened -C $client
done
