I have just found my first infirmity on the 1871 census, but can't find anywhere to record it, either direct in FH or through Ancestral Sources.

There is an attribute called Physical Description, available in the list of standard facts. That is sometimes appropriate, although if the infirmity is a 'mental' one it might be better to create a custom attribute called 'Infirmity'. In either case, I would also put something in the note field of the individual's Property Box against the census event, saying that he/she was recorded in the census as having this particular infirmity.

The AS 1871 Census Grid does have a column for Infirmity on the far right after Where Born.
You may have to scroll the grid to see it.

So assuming you have used Auto Text to create the Text From Source in the Source Record, then the Infirmity is recorded there.

That Census Grid Column is associated with Physical Description, so as long as the Tools > Options > Census settings > Physical Description option is ticked, then a Physical Description Fact should get created automatically and cite the Census Source Record.

Doh, I didn't see the scroll bar on the census grid, so missed the Infirmity column!
