Pretty sure all of them does, its just not every one has it as an toggleable setting.
AVG IS seems to scan UEFI as well. I remember when I used it I think there was such an option. 
Bitdefender, Kaspersky, Avast Scans UEFI. And I don't think others don't as it is quite common for AVs to scans UEFI nowadays.
Hello, Even if AV find smth bad there they cant fix it so there is no point in uefi sscanning.
And there is no solution to fix it ?
There are just to reflash the UEFI, Quite Simple!
I don't think for normal users UEFI malware will be an issue of concern for now.

UEFI scanning provided by ESET will only cause confusion for newbie users. It's almost impossible for AV or users to fix the issue detected.
The UEFI scan makes no sense, it's just a marketing ploy by Eset, because in practice it's useless
I agree with the comments above. But it's nice to know if UEFI is infected, even though they won't be able to fix it. But a malware damaging your UEFI is very rare I think.
Microsoft Defender also has this capability. The link says MD Endpoint only but it's present in the home version also.
