I won't pretend I'm a Paph expert, I've successfully grown some maudiae type Paph but sold them as they eventually take took much space when they become multigrowth. The last Paph I have is Paph spicerianum which I'll probably sell eventually as well, this thing grows like weeds!
IMO, the spots on the leaves are not too much of a worry, doesn't look like a virus at all. The brown sunken spots looks like it was shipping and handling damage that might be developing some kind of bacteria, the bottom leafs that are yellowing could be just a natural thing, but I'm afraid it's more likely rot in the crown that's accelerating the process. On your picture the crown looks likes it's a bit brownish. It's not tragic as you'll probably get one or 2 new shoots which will take over, don't forget this one is done anyway and won't flower again. Just make sure you don't rot the rhyzome and you should be fine with future growths.
I'll let the more experienced Paph growers share further insight.
