z.test does the two-tailed test by default:-
=====
> y<-c(110,105,105,100)
> z.test(y,100,5)
        One Sample z-test
data:  y 
z = 2, n = 4.0, Std. Dev. = 5.0, Std. Dev. of the sample mean = 2.5,
p-value = 0.0455
alternative hypothesis: true mean is not equal to 100 
95 percent confidence interval:
 100.1001 109.8999 
sample estimates:
mean of y 
      105 
======
p-value of 0.0455 is exactly twice what Excel gives - which is right, because 
when the sample mean is above the population mean Excel does the one-tailed 
test.

In summary this all hangs together.
