1Can you give an example sentence where you think they might be interchangeable?– user3856370May 15, 2022 at 11:29

2毎 is not so productive as you may be thinking. It’s not like it goes with any noun naturally.– aguijonazoMay 15, 2022 at 17:55

どの can be a translation of "every" or "any" in a lot of cases. Example:
- どの席も空いている。 (Every/any seat is empty/available.)
毎 for a similar meaning is typically a prefix to form a larger word. It's generally not productive, and the word often has to do with time. Example:
- 彼は毎日出勤する。 (He comes to work everyday.)
- 彼は毎回失敗する。 (He fails every time.)
