While probably not as helpful as you might be looking for, there are management theories that could be a simple solution to your question, and that is there wasn't anything you could do. Some clans run on the leadership and (somewhat) innovativeness of a figurehead that commands the values and control over everything else. Typically, when the roles are passed over, people will doubt them unless they managed to show a similar or better capacity to run it.

So either I become active again or the clan is doomed? No other alternative?

OR, you could relegate some powerto another person (or people) with enought leadership to take care of the clan. Ajente02,

Honestly, I'm a pretty relaxed leader. I make sure everyone knows the rules, and that my chat moderators enforce said rules, but beyond that, users are pretty free to do whatever. In chat, I try to just be another clan-mate, as I was before I took over leadership. As my clan *is* a lore clan, we're mostly a social clan however, so our events aren't mandatory and aren't super frequent either. I myself have even had issues with off-site forums, in that Jagex gives us as leaders no tools to let our members know about them. As such, less than 1/4th of my clan knows about them or even cares about them, so I've not done as much as I'd like.
The clan's advancement system is fairly simple too. Depending on your time within the clan and your activity within the community as a whole, you get bumped up. Admin rank is a purely Clan Avatar and Battlefield rank, and you'll be given it if you request it and have been a good person
It used to be tied to Citadel capping, but after upkeep was made super easy, I decided not to bother requiring it. We reserve our Recruit rank as a "mute" rank for now, while patiently waiting for the ability to mute someone without removing them from the clan.
Regarding my moderation team, we use a few simple things. We have a small Skype chat where we can get in touch with each other in case someone major happens, and we can also discuss the rules, users, or just talk. We also have a user-spreadsheet where we keep track of users that have broken rules. It's very simple to use.
Anyone wishing to join the clan simply has to fill out an application on our recruitment thread in the recruitment forums, and after reading an application, we'll accept and deny it. After being accepted, we ask a user to simply message any of the clan leaders or overseers so they can be added to the clan. Also very simple.
Overall, I and my team exist to be mediators for discussion rather than "rulers" for a clan chat. It's worked well for a social guild! @Fannygirdle on Twitter | Co-Owner of The Scrying Pool, a future updates and lore clan

I feel like I am one with OP.
I am the exact same way, I run .. or ran.. a clan of 300 but have become extremely inactive. I went from playing 16-18 hours a day, every day for almost a year 1/2 to not playing even an hour a week anymore.
As I became inactive, the clan has started to "decay". I am the original owner and founder of my clan, we started with just the original 5 who all became inactive after week 1 or 2. I carried us on with my clannies to 300+ members before really becoming inactive... and now I only care for my clan on RS, nothing else about RS.. I feel as if I've put too much time in to let it die.
I know the solution to my problem, but the solution is difficult to achieve. That is, I, and likely, you, need to find a group of active and capable admin to take over all of your roles in the clan and delegate one person deputy owner to be acting owner. That is extremely more difficult to achieve than it sounds, at least for me and my clan. I have had so much trouble finding people who meet these 4 basic requirements for my consideration:
Active
Helpful
Willing
Friendly
The two biggest culprits are active and willing, but sometimes the helpfulness is not there, nor the friendly, per se.. Not up to my standards.
