I was reading on the web that clamav is not an "endpoint antivirus solution" but at the same time its called the best antivirus for gnu/linux and gnu/linux servers. Is worth for a desktop/personal computer?

For the average home desktop/laptop user, you probably don't need it. It won't hurt, but unless you're really downloading and executing random files off the internet, it won't do much.

If you run a server that is publicly available on the internet that allows folks to upload files to it, then you will almost certainly want it.
