How about XLISP? I think it's available on SIMTEL (maybe in its own directory)
It's not necessarily 100% CommonLisp, but you can't beat the price anywhere!
It should do the job, our programming languages class uses
an XLISP dialect for the LISP section of the course.

I have an extensively modified XLISP 2.1 which has been molded more into
CL and fixes numerous bugs in the standard XLISP distribution. The extension
over the standard XLISP are obtained via compilation options.

Atatch a note saying:

2. Any binaries you need (generic w/wo 80x87 and 80386 protected mode w. 80387
available).
3. Documentation as PostScript file, ASCII text file, or WordPerfect 5.1 file.
