On the my Cloudmark website they offer Immunet 3.0 antivirus for $24.95.
Is it worth it?

I've never heard of it, and that's one of the reasons I wouldn't buy
it. The other reason is that there are three very good free
anti-viruses:

Avira AntiVir
Avast
Microsoft Security Essentials

Having never heard of Immunet, my very strong guess is that all of the
above three are better.

Is Avira better than Avast? I'm currently using Avast.

Only if you compare the payware versions is Avira very slightly better
(as measure at av-comparatives.org). For the freeware versions, Avast
is better as it covers more infection vectors. While both are adware,
Avast is much less in-your-face adware (you'll see the ads in the config
UI) whereas Avira requires workarounds to get rid of the load-time
banner along with the popup ad window during updates.

I think all three are close. Whichever you are using, I'd stay with
it.
