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?

Ok, yeah, I think your last sentence is probably where I was thinking…
Yep, repo packages are going to be fairly good except for watering hole attacks, but PDFs and other documents could be a potential source of malware that anti-malware software would - potentially - protect the user.
In theory maybe but in practice documents viewers and editors are rather foolproof as they read content but they don’t execute. The file formats are specifically defined. Also each distribution might have a different default viewer per file format and the user might install a different default, so it’s very hard to target, unlike for other OSes with a well known default.
