{"ops":[{"insert":"I won't try to answer this question for every copy effect, because many have different rules text.

Clone's copy effect does not reset unless the card Clone changes zones. In your specific scenario, the Echoing Equation side of "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Augmenter Pugilist // Echoing Equation"}},{"insert":" changes creatures' characteristics until end of turn, then every creature reverts to whatever it was before the Echoing Equation spell resolved. The spell does not cause any object to change zones, so it cannot reset Clone's copy effect.\n"}]}
