Example of non-locally integrable $f$ that $int_Omega fvarphi=0$.
$begingroup$
In real analysis we know that if $fin L_{loc}^1(Omega)$ and $int_Omega fvarphi=0$ for any $varphiin C_0^infty(Omega)$, then $f=0$ a.e. I am thinking if it is possible to find an example to show that the condition $fin L_{loc}^1(Omega)$ is necessary.

@SmileyCraft why is that? I mean $f$ is measurable (presumably) and $varphi in C_0^infty(Omega)$. So $fvarphi$ is measurable. So we just need to know whether $fvarphi in L^1(Omega)$. And it's not clear to me that it isn't. Consider, for example, $Omega = {|z| < 1} subseteq mathbb{R}^2$ with $f$ blowing up at the boundary. Then isn't it possible that for all smooth functions $varphi$ vanishing at the boundary of $Omega$, that $fvarphi in L^1(Omega)$?

The condition $fin L_{loc}^1(Omega)$ is necessary for the statement to even make sense. If $fvarphi$ is integrable for all $varphiin C_0^infty(Omega)$, then $fin L_{loc}^1(Omega)$. Since we are considering the properties of locally integrableness and smoothness, I assume we are considering open sets $Omegasubseteqmathbb{R}^n$.
Proof of claim: Let $Omegasubseteqmathbb{R}^n$ open and $f:Omegatomathbb{R}$ such that $fvarphi$ is integrable for all $varphiin C_0^infty(Omega)$. Let $KsubseteqOmega$ compact. We can find (*) $UsubseteqOmega$ open and $LsubseteqOmega$ compact such that $Ksubseteq Usubseteq L$. By smooth Urysohn we find $varphiin C^infty$ such that $varphi|_{K}equiv1$ and $mbox{supp}(varphi)subseteq U$. Because $Usubseteq LsubseteqOmega$ we get $varphiin C_0^infty(Omega)$. By hypothesis, $fvarphi$ is integrable on $Omega$, and hence also on $K$. Since $(fvarphi)|_K=f|_K$ we find that $f$ is integrable on $K$. Hence $fin L_{loc}^1(Omega)$.
(*) This is a bit tedious. Since $K$ is compact, it is contained in some ball $B_R(0)$. Then $S=(Omegacap B_R(0))^c$ is closed and disjoint from $K$. Because $mathbb{R}^2$ is normal, we find disjoint open sets $U,Vsubseteqmathbb{R}^2$ such that $Ksubseteq U$ and $Ssubseteq V$. Choosing $L=V^c$ we get the desired properties.

@SmileyCraft why is that? I mean $f$ is measurable (presumably) and $varphi in C_0^infty(Omega)$. So $fvarphi$ is measurable. So we just need to know whether $fvarphi in L^1(Omega)$. And it's not clear to me that it isn't. Consider, for example, $Omega = {|z| < 1} subseteq mathbb{R}^2$ with $f$ blowing up at the boundary. Then isn't it possible that for all smooth functions $varphi$ vanishing at the boundary of $Omega$, that $fvarphi in L^1(Omega)$?
