Hi there! *waves* I'm not all that surprised that MDZS is so big - it really took off after CQL came out on Netflix and so many people discovered the original novel in its wake.
And with book!LotR I think that a) many people might not have migrated their fic to AO3 at all, and b) it might just be miscategorised under the movies, or people use the movies like an umbrella term. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I'd imagine there must be loads of fic for the book, but it's a very old fandom.
