Right, I meant to add header=FALSE. And, it looks now like the next line is the one with the unclosed quote, so read.csv is trying to read million-character headers!

It may or may not be important that read.csv defaults to header =
TRUE. Having skipped 2459465 lines, it may attempt to parse the next
one as a header, so the second call read.csv() should probably include
header = FALSE.

Bert's advice to try scan() is on point, though. It's likely that the
default-enabled header is not the most serious problem here.
