Not really. I mean it does the job, it's a real AV that will catch malware, but it's not a modern product. Its primary use is for corporations needing to meet a "you must have antivirus" compliance requirement.
The best defense against Linux malware is reviewing stuff before you run it. And not running random stuff as root. And not piping curl/wget to bash, especially not sudo bash.
And of course don't expose stuff to the Internet unless you have to. And if you do, isolate each service, so that an attacker can't pivot once they're in your network.
