First of all, LH has always* been available only 14 days in advance so "searching for weeks" doesn't do you any good (* with the exception of some tricks which no longer work).
Secondly, you cannot expect a specific route to have availability on any particular day. Given the 14-day window any specific route, especially with not much competition, is unlikely to give you anything, maybe with the exception of the next 24-48 departures.
For example, ORD-FRA, FRA-ORD, MUC-BOM etc are not too hard. You can pretty much forget about FRA-SFO, FRA-MIA and similar.

OP may not be entirely incorrect.
At the least, LH F availability seems to be significantly down compared to pre-website maintenance. The website "glitch" is persisting where F routes show up as J pricing.
Intentional on Avianca's part?

United / ANA shows availability,

It seems that availability is limited. On United.com you can book this flight almost daily. Through Life Miles not possible in all classes! I was looking for F.

Have also noted limited availability on LM (as compared to UA/AE) compared with a few months ago... as well, this J class showing up as F class for F pricing glitch is blocking true F flights from showing up.

Quick update: The flights did show as available on LM around 5 days later.
