Please use System requirements to install Windows on your Mac via Boot Camp - Apple Support to download BC Drivers as appropriate for your hardware year/model.

But it shows "Can't install the software because it is not currently available from the Software Update server." when I try to download windows support software on Boot Camp Assistant.

You seem to have a Malware version of Adobe installed from somewhere. Can you use a text editor of your choice and remove the following entries?

Quite a few posters have complained/had issues as Apple has started transitioning their software servers to their own CDN. You may want to also check if anything in hosts file(s) have compromised any of the DNS entries.

Ok so support for Mac model 12,1 (the latest, early 2015) is not up on the CDN servers yet, can confirm using:

https://github.com/timsutton/brigadier

I guess we wait!

From System requirements to install Windows on your Mac via Boot Camp - Apple Support the only method for 2015 models is BCA (Bootcamp Assistant). If Brigadier uses the links which do not have BCA (I have not checked the source yet), then it will not find it. It may be able to address the publicly available downloads, for example, Boot Camp Support Software 5.1.5640.

I suggest you try it and check https://www.apple.com/support/systemstatus/ for any known issues.

I look at the catalog entries and searched for Bootcamp posted in 2015. This is what I get. If you are adventurous, run Wireshark and look for the HTTP traffic to find out which specific 2015 package/smd your Mac needs to check if it is mentioned in the following output.
