The topological space \(X\) is said to be CLP-compact if every clopen cover of \(X\) has a finite subcover (i.e., the zero-dimensional modification \(zX\) is compact). It is proved that a product of two CLP-compact spaces \(X,Y\) is CLP-compact iff \(z(X\times Y)=zX\times zY\) iff \(pr_X:X\times Y\to X\) is clopen. Under some weight restrictions, a product of two CLP-compact spaces is CLP-compact. There are three CLP-compact spaces the product of which is not CLP-compact but any 2-subproduct is CLP-compact. There is a model of set-theory containing a CLP-compact and Hausdorff space the square of which is not CLP-compact. Other \(\mathcal P\)-compactness is considered in addition to \({\mathcal P}= \text{CLP}\) (= all clopen sets), mainly when \(\mathcal P\) consists of open sets having small boundaries. For instance, there exists a 2-dimensional subspace \(X\) of a Euclidean space such that \(X\) is compact and Hausdorff in the topology generated by open sets with finite boundaries (usual examples of such \(\mathcal P\)-compact and \(\mathcal P\)-Hausdorff spaces are at most 1-dimensional).
