Well, first-of-all you need to understand that the H  bonding isn't actually bonding. It is just a covalent attraction. Also since Cl is larger than O it does not make a strong H bond. The size of the Cl  makes the dipole-dipole attraction weaker. However N, F and O are smaller and thus have an H bond.

Although in reality, compared to other covalently bonded structures, HCl  has a very strong covalent bond.
