The dilute Clorox spray will probably get rid of the disease or at least slow it down significantly; but if the whole plant including new growth is affected then the spray could kill the plant. If it is some kind of fungus the Clorox spray will kill the affected leaves within a couple of days and if you have some plants just starting to show the symptoms it should save them.
I always spray all of my tomatoes with the dilute clorox spray during times of heavy and persistent rains. Just make sure you use a bleach mix that has 5 1/2 % to 6 % sodium hypochlorite when adding it to the water. If it has more or less you will have to adjust your mixture accordingly. Also make sure you spray late in the day.
Whatever that is on your plants it looks quite advanced and it may be too late for anything to help. Good Luck.
