We found this when we searched more on this is

This is not supported out-of-the-box. See also enhancement request: https://issues.alfresco.com/jira/browse/ALFCOM-174

It should be noted that the WebDAV interface primarily uses the FileFolderService etc. Most of the service methods should also work with AVM-style nodeRefs (since AVM provides an in-built projection via AVMNodeService) so in theory it should be possible to extend the WebDAV interface to expose WCM/AVM stores.

For example, one option might be to extend the WebDAVHelper to map the selected "/Web Projects" path to the list of available web projects for the current user (eg. via WebProjectService) and then map the selected "/Web Projects/mywebproject" path to the current user's sandbox (eg. via SandboxService) to provide an AVM-style rootNodeRef (eg. "avm://mywebproject–admin/-1;"). The remaining WebDAV methods should then be able to use the AVM-style nodeRefs (eg. "avm://mywebproject–admin/-1;www;avm_webapps;ROOT;mydir"). If you go down this custom route then you may also require a minor bug fix to AVMNodeService itself, eg.

So we can confirm that OOTB webDAV support for WCM or AVM store is not availble
