If you read the help page it says
Description:
Summarize information about installed packages and packages
available at various repositories, and automatically upgrade
outdated packages.
...
avail: a data frame with columns as the _matrix_ returned by
'available.packages' plus '"Status"', a factor with levels
'c("installed", "not installed", "unavailable")'..
so this is 'available' as in 'available.packages' (qv).

Hello,
when I run packageStatus(), I get the following results:

Number of installed packages:

Number of available packages (each package/bundle counted only once):

i.e., there is an unavailable package in my personal library. With,

I see that the unavailable package is one that I have done and
installed via R CMD INSTALL. Although it says it is unavailable, I can
load the package with library() and use its functions in the usual way.
There is no problem at all here since I can use the functions. I was
just curious about what really means this "unavailable"
classification. My guess is that this a package that is not on CRAN (?).
No, not on the repositories you specified.
