You write 愿意 is an adverb.can we consider it is a stative verb,as we must use 不 for the négation 不愿意？

Hi! Actually, 愿意 is marked as an auxiliary verb (in short: av.) in our dictionary. Yes, when we negate, we use 不:
Examples:
他不愿意认错。 [phr] He does not want to own up to his mistake.
他很恋家，不愿意去外地工作。 [phr] He is too attached to his home to leave his hometown for work.
