First point is, if the gap is so noticeable, why didn't you notice it when you picked the car up?. Presumably you did inspect it?
As for the gap itself, the salesman is correct, up to a point. It is very much a budget car, so you can't expect the kind of panel gaps you will find in something like an Audi or Lexus. Without seeing it, it is difficult to offer any opinion as to whether or not the gap is excessive.
Can it be adjusted?, again, without seeing exactly what you mean, i can't really say.
If you are looking along the length of the car, does the door stick out at the bottom?, if so, then yes, it should be possible to fix it.
But if the gap is 'in line' with the car, i.e., if, while looking along the length of the car, the rear door is flush with the rear panel, then probably not, at least not easily. If this is the case, is the gap between the leading edge of the rear door and the rear edge of the front door very tight?.
With regards to your concern about water getting in, get someone in the car to check while you point the hose at the affected area. If water comes in, take the car back to the dealer and tell them to fix it. If they can't fix it, tell them you want a refund or replacement car.
