I am not sure of this, but Nashor's Tooth shouldn't heal neither from Life Steal nor Spell Vamp. I quote the first sentence of this page:

"Life steal is an offensive stat that converts a percentage of the physical damage dealt to health regained. Achampion's basic attack, abilities that apply on-hit effects, and abilities that modify your next basic attack all benefit from lifesteal."

As you can read it only converts physical damage. Nashor's is an on-hit effect, but because its damage is magical it won't heal you.

As for Spell Vamp it shouldn't proc either. I quote the first sentence of the Spell Vamp-page of this wiki:

"Spell vamp is a magical stat that converts a percentage of the ability damage dealt to health regained. Activated abilities that do not state they "apply on-hit effects" or modify your "next basic attack" will benefit from spell vamp.[1]

Spell vamp works off of activated item effects, summoner spells, and abilities, regardless of the type of damage done. It is calculated from the damage dealt to the enemy after reductions such as magic resistance, armor or effects like   Unbreakable Will ."

As you may notice it says spellvamp works off of activaded item effects, but since the damage of Nashor's tooth is passive it won't proc there either.

But let's say you have Nasus' Siphoning Strike. It also deals bonus damage on hit, and it deals physical damage. Therefore it requires the criterias for life steal, but not for spell vamp.

I hope my answer helped
