This isn't something that is addressed by WCAG 2.0, mostly because
small clickable elements are difficult for everyone, though especially
for those with limited motor control. I think common sense can
generally indicate if something is too small - if it seems to small,
it probably is.

Of interest may be this demo by Derek Featherstone of a button that
increases in size if you click near it -
