Well McAfee is rated to be likely mediocre/good AV from its performance and their firewall can likely compared from other pure firewall with least effective.

You'd be better off using something other than McAfee Internet Security, though their Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) Endpoint/Web Protection may be worth looking at, if you're interested in McAfee. Other than that, no.

Unfortunately, a Reviewer took his reviews with him. However, you may be able to find a review on Youtube. :-/

Their are more testing independent organization to rely on it, in Matousec its likely measured from its firewall and other behavior protection components.

But if you want like detection rates, on demand, and others you can find in AV-Comparatives, AV-Test, and others.

Most of suites are really capable to protect in Wifi Security especially the firewall component to stop an intruder attack.

Only thing here is set a maximum security on a wifi router, make sure the password not really easy to crack, and don't broadcast fully your SSID when not needed.

Out of suites, I'm not sure. Depending on what you use, but they all should do a good job at something. Have you considered adding Mac Filtering?

Wi-Fi Security? You need to set up your router // access point with WPA2-PSK and optionally with or without MAC Filtering.

None of those provide such, but you can add HTTPS Everywhere browser extensions and use VPN software (secure // tunnelling software), as a means for better Wi-Fi security.

Zonealarm products from its engine are used from kaspersky not sure if its an up to date based from original owner.

For firewall they are still implementing the pure firewall version thus less interaction from the users.
