You can overwrite the Flyway autoconfiguration like this:

@Bean
@Profile("test")
public Flyway flyway(DataSource theDataSource) {
    Flyway flyway = new Flyway();
    flyway.setDataSource(theDataSource);
    flyway.setLocations("classpath:db/migration");
    flyway.clean();
    flyway.migrate();

    return flyway;
}

In Spring Boot 1.3 (current version is 1.3.0.M1, GA release is planned for September), you can use a FlywayMigrationStrategy bean to define the actions you want to run:

@Bean
@Profile("test")
public FlywayMigrationStrategy cleanMigrateStrategy() {
    FlywayMigrationStrategy strategy = new FlywayMigrationStrategy() {
        @Override
        public void migrate(Flyway flyway) {
            flyway.clean();
            flyway.migrate();
        }
    };

    return strategy;
}
