No, they are not. Clerics get their heal spells much earlier than the other two. For example, Clerics get Superior Healing at 34, where as druids get it at 51. I played a druid, only being able to heal for 250 till 51 is brutal.( if you are just talking end-game, ignore this then) And yeah, not to mention complete heal. If you have an enchanter already, the benefit of buffs from a druid or shaman will not be as significant when your chanter is charming powerful mobs and can already haste.

In later expansions they made druids, shamans, and even paladins more on par with clerics; but Cleric is really the only class that is always a viable healer leveling in classic. There is a sweet spot around level 34 or something. But it goes downhill by 40 or so (until late game).
