what breaks a rear wheel bearing
As above, and its not age or mileage.
I recently heard a clicking sound coming somewhere from the rear, changed one of the wheel bearings. (turned out it was OK though, still have not
located where it actually comes from, seems to happen mainly on right hand bends)
but now the rear near side drum seems to also produce a clear clicking when the wheel is turning, so the wheel bearing must be broken.
So what breaks a brand new wheel bearing in just a few miles?
Incorrect fitting/slight misalignment?
not greased properly?
or is there something else that can break them really quickly?

CV joints?
is it not this that is clicking rather than your wheel bearing breaking?

If they are not pressed in correctly or a little off square they can fracture during insertion. If they are taper rollers, then over tightening will
make them fail very quickly.
