It can't be done, neither with a CNAME record nor with delegation.
The server that handles the test.com zone must know the answer for
the address of test.com.
The best you can do is to set up a separate web server (or virtual
host) for test.com that redirects all such requests to www.test.com.
If web browsers supported SRV records, I could give you a better
answer, but they don't.
