BlackHeart Biohazards

This kind of thing is easily answered with the works search. It’s only annoying if you want a bunch of different data for a chart. Currently, the works with >1000 comments number:

17,026

On a different note, IDK a good way to see a list of fandoms from works search, but if you go to a huge tag like m/m, you can put in a comments range and still get the sidebars. Out of m/m fic on AO3, the ones with >100 comments show:

• Harry Potter – J. K. Rowling (10841)
• 방탄소년단 | Bangtan Boys | BTS (10022)
• Marvel Cinematic Universe (8870)
• 僕のヒーローアカデミア | Boku no Hero Academia | My Hero Academia (Anime & Manga) (8836)
• The Avengers (Marvel Movies) (7753)
• Supernatural (TV 2005) (6675)
• Teen Wolf (TV) (6184)
• 魔道祖师 – 墨香铜臭 | Módào Zǔshī – Mòxiāng Tóngxiù (5331)
• Captain America (Movies) (5248)
• Sherlock (TV) (4886)

And if you exclude those:

• Haikyuu!! (3306)
• Good Omens (TV) (3275)
• Voltron: Legendary Defender (3155)
• Star Wars – All Media Types (2770)
• Yuri!!! on Ice (Anime) (2746)
• One Direction (Band) (2665)
• Stranger Things (TV 2016) (2530)
• Naruto (Anime & Manga) (2441)
• Good Omens – Neil Gaiman & Terry Pratchett (2380)
• Shingeki no Kyojin | Attack on Titan (2001)

So about what you’d expect, really. Big, big fandoms and ones that have been active while AO3 has been popular. No doubt if I repeated this for some other category or rating or other big tag, you’d get a similar story: big-ass, currently-active fandoms. Searching for >1000 comments instead of >100 gets similar results, just with fandoms reordered slightly.
