If you're sure that clicking noise is coming from the starter, then all it can be is
Bad starter
Poor battery cable connection
Dead battery
Assuming you wired the starter correctly

And I had the new starter tested just to make sure it wasn't faulty.

What is the voltage at the S terminal on the starter when your attempting to crank the engine? Have you done a voltage drop test on the battery cables?

The S terminal or small wire at the starter solenoid should be 12 volts or battery voltage when you attempt to crank the engine. The voltage drop on both negative and positive cables should be less than .5 volts.
watch this to perform drop test:

Why would I encourage an answer like that?
When you assume things are good just because they may not be that old without testing anything, you can end up wasting a whole lot of time.
I told you what the only things that could cause those symptoms were and you just blew it all off without testing anything.
