I don't run AV software on my Mac because the threat and possible consequences are sufficiently limited.

But I've never heard about AV software itself being a vector. Where can I find out more?

I imagine that comment referred to fake antivirus software from webpage ads or something that users are tricked into installing. Something like ClamAV would be fine.
