One interesting scenario is where the Sun, Jupiter, and another object are the three bodies in question. I think we could put an object at the L4 or L5 point of Jupiter's orbit (see the Trojans) and have it be stable. How large could this object be? Would an Earth-sized object be stable there? If so, how close would a passing star have to be to disturb that stability?
