Although the KVS tool is showing Y availability in early August of next year for the GIG-GRU-SCL flights, it isn't showing any C availability. In fact, it would appear that one of the direct flights is actually not operated with a J cabin (the A320 flight).
That's correct -- there is no C cabin on those A320 flights:

Can you think of any reason why the GIG-SCL availability is not showing up in AA's system?
No, but we can think of tens of reasons why an agent would claim that they can't book it.

It's showing-up just fine (when there is award availability):
