Can an accumulation point be an eigenvalue?

For an discrete (separable) infinite-dimensional Hilbert Space with a compact operator, 0 is always an accumulation point (https://www.math.ucdavis.edu/~hunter/book/ch9.pdf).

Does this mean its part of a spectrum? Also can it be an eigenvalue? Otherwise, how should I prove it is/isnt?
