Vaclík started out with FC Vítkovice in the Czech 2. Liga where he played for three seasons before transferring to Viktoria Žižkov. Žižkov won promotion to the Czech First League in Vaclík's first season with the club. In July 2011, Vaclík signed a three-year contract with De Graafschap[3] but it was later announced that he had failed a medical in the Netherlands and would be returning to Prague.[4]

Vaclík played for Žižkov during the first half of the 2011–12 Czech First League. In January 2012, with Žižkov bottom of the league with seven points from 16 matches, Vaclík transferred to Sparta Prague for a reported fee of 8.25 million CZK, signing a contract to keep him at the club until the summer of 2016.[5]

On 22 May 2014 it was announced that Vaclík had signed for FC Basel of the Swiss Super League on a four-year contract with an option for another year.[6] He joined the team for their 2014–15 season under head coach Paulo Sousa. After playing in four test games Vaclik played his domestic league debut for the club in the away game in the Stadion Brügglifeld on 19 July 2014 as Basel won 2–1 against Aarau.[7] Basel entered the Champions League in the group stage. They reached the knockout phase on 9 December 2014, as they managed a 1–1 draw at Anfield against Liverpool.[8] But they were knocked out of the competition by Porto in the round of 16. At the end of the 2014–15 season, Basel won the championship for the sixth time in a row.[9] In the 2014–15 Swiss Cup Basel reached the final. However for the third time in a row they finished as runners-up. Basel played a total of 65 matches (36 Swiss League fixtures, 6 Swiss Cup, 8 Champions League and 15 test matches). Under manager Paulo Sousa Vaclík totaled 51 appearances, 33 in the League, 8 in the Champions League as well 10 in test games.[10]

For the club this was the eighth title in a row and their 20th championship title in total.[13] They also won the 2016–17 Swiss Cup, defeating Sion 3–0 in the final, which meant they had won the double.[14]

On 4 July 2018, Basel announced that Vaclík had signed for Sevilla FC.[15] In his four seasons as their first goalkeeper, Vaclík played a total of 195 games for Basel. 132 of these games were in the Swiss Super League, four in the Swiss Cup, 33 in the UEFA competitions (Champions League and Europa League) and 26 were friendly games.
