They offer three solutions OpenCart, Joomla VirtueMart and Prestashop, since I am not strong in this, I ask you for advice. What are the advantages of each platform and what are the disadvantages. Or recommend another solution.

I really like Opencart in terms of code. Very low entry threshold (if there is an understanding of MVC), modules and plug-ins for it are easily written. And the set of ready-made solutions is quite large.
There is a problem with seo (specifically, URL duplication), but it can be solved by competently installing the necessary plugins and configuring them (usually just seo pro is enough - turns on the NC and removes url duplication).
I have bad memories and impressions about Joomla in general as a CMS.
I didn't have to work with Prestashop.

In order to choose the right platform, you need a more precise task, an understanding of the requirements and goals. As you understand, each platform (and I would add Magento to this list, several solutions based on WordPress, as well as a solution using Ecwid, and even SaaS solutions, of which there are quite a few) has its pros and cons, and the degree of their importance/influence directly depends on the task. If this is not a global store with 1000+ positions, a bunch of sections, etc., then a SaaS platform may be a perfect solution. Moreover, there are Russian / Ukrainian (I don’t know where you are from) local offers that perfectly solve one of the main problems in the development of the store - billings and gateways.
In general, specify the task.

Joomla VirtueMart - no, I speak as a user.
Pay attention to Magento, they say (recommend), a good CMS.
OpenCart - I don't know.
I will expand your circle of choice, Drupal is possible.

If the online store is small, then OpenCart; if there are many categories and products, then Prestashop. If you only need an online store, then I would not recommend taking joomla+virtuemart. For interest, to compare, install some kind of web server on the local machine and install openacart and prestashop and try to start a couple of categories, a couple of products, etc.
If you need a professional online store "online supermarket" then I would recommend magento.
If you really have ~4000 products, then prestashop or magento.
