To be more clear, when you run poisson.test(1, conf.level = 0.95) with the default values of T and r (which are both 1) you are performing the following two-sided hypothesis test:

Null hypothesis: The true rate of events is 1 (r) with a time base of 1 (T).

Alternative hypothesis: The true rate is not equal to 1.

The reason that you end up with a p-value of 1 is because you've said that you've observed 1 event in a time base of 1 with a hypothesized rate of 1. So given this data, of course the probability of observing a rate equal to or more extreme than 1 is 1! As such, you're not actually testing anything about the data that you claim you are testing.

I'm not trying to be harsh here, but please be careful when using statistics!
