I believe the answer is:

omeo

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'would great lover' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot tell whether it can be defined by this definition.

'head off to a victorian spot?' is the wordplay.
'head' indicates taking the first letters.
'to a' says to put letters next to each other (I've seen this in other clues).
'victorian spot?' becomes 'ome' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
The initial letter of 'off' is 'o'.
'o' put after 'ome' is 'OMEO'.

Can you help me to learn more?

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
