On a Debian system with non-free enabled, it only takes "apt install libclamunrar9" to get the full unrar capability. It's still a better solution for Debian users to use the packaged version.
There are a few exceptions (for example, getting 0.101 and libclamav9 transitioned into our stable release is taking some time, due to reverse depends and patching needed for the changed API, so if one really needs that now, then by all means build from source), but generally Debian users are better served by the O/S integration provided through the packaging system. We have an exception to the usual rule about no new versions of packages in stable releases for clamav, so the usual reason, not wanting to be stuck with an old version of the package doesn't generally apply. I don't want to get into an extended argument about which is better, but I think Debian does a pretty good job as a clamav distributor.
