If that's what you did, I don't think R ever saw it. The shell would
think that you were trying run a program called "Sweave(test.Rnw) ".
If you want to pipe the string to R, you need at least an "echo" in
front of it. Also beware that the quotes as written don't match up the
way I think you think they do.

echo "Sweave(\"test.Rnw\")"| R  --no-restore --no-save
  
should be more like it. Notice that you need to start the line with a
TAB inside a makefile, not 4 spaces (or did your email program just
mangle it?).
