Hi!
There are a couple of things to try.  First of all, I always recommend an examination by a urologist--sometimes there is a varicoceole or other condition that can be corrected by surgery that will improve the sperm count.  Also, Clomid is a medication used to boost fertility in women and it also works in men.  Proxeed is a nutritional supplement that has shown some promise for boosting the sperm count.
Finally, it is important to abstain from intercourse for at least 3 days before the sperm test is done--so you may also want to repeat the test.
Good luck!
