It still works. But I get a message in dashboard the subscription is expired and not all features will be available.
ESET is really good. It deals with all the Virus nuisance silently without disturbing the user and has very less false-positives. Wanna try its paid version some day

But isn't it useful to install "amavis" or "clamav" onto your linux os distribution? Both are FREE with excellent security features with an addon strength to your linux distribution.
Linux is not at risk of getting viruses in general compared to Windows. At least not to a huge extent. ClamAV is mostly used in Linux to detect Windows viruses in edge cases such as in email servers for attachment scanning.
In any case it's not general practice to install an antivirus on Linux because chance that you'd get infected by a Linux only virus is negligible.

My personal choice is same as @omega44-xt , Defender with occasional run of malwarebytes. Its totally free, and is better than even some paid antivirus out there.

Please recommend antivirus for 2pcs.
It should not eat up resources and slow down pc. The pcs have core i3 7th gen, so need a light weight one. If the AV comes bundled with vpn then that is also a good deal. Time period will be for 1yr, I will continue if it suits my pc.
I will not buy immediately rather wait for possible price drops etc. As my current AV will expire in may. My previous AV is of Kaspersky, and would not wish to buy it again as it is a ram eater.

It is my uncle's pc and has some important data. So he needs it to be secured. I myself use mint, so don't require one.
