You may have already found this, or someone pointed you to it,
but in the JAGS distribution (at least on the Mac version) there is
an examples directory with subdirectors, vol1 and vol2, each containing
many examples.  Or, more directly

http://sourceforge.net/projects/mcmc-jags/files/Examples/

I think that you will have to explore it to see which ones
are glmm's.  For example, the epil directory looks to be a glmm with
Poisson family and the seeds directory seems to be a binomial model.

HTH,
