The ngx_http_dav_module module processes HTTP and WebDAV methods PUT, DELETE,
MKCOL, COPY, and MOVE, i.e. no OPTIONS and TRACE methods.
You may specify WebDAV methods with dav_methods directive, see
http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_dav_module.html for details.

AFAIK OPTIONS method available with dav_ext third-party module
