Don't know rabbits as well as I do rodents, but the first three things I think of when I see patches missing are barbering (overgrooming) which can be done by itself or another animal, ringworm (which would require treatment but isn't dangerous, only itchy and easily transmittable to humans), and fighting. Losing clumps of fur when fighting is most common among critters that can release their fur voluntarily when grabbed (eg. chinchillas). Don't know if rabbits have that ability. If it came from a cage with other rabbits, it's probably due to barbering. Keep an eye on it and if it is healing and fur growing back, nothing to worry about.
