That only works for data frames since they are based on
lists but not for objects like matrix, ts and zoo which are not
based on lists.  Try this:

library(zoo)
z <- zoo(cbind(a = 1:2, b = 3:4, c = 5:6))
# all but b
z <- z[, colnames(z) != "b"]
z

z <- zoo(cbind(a = 1:2, b = 3:4, c = 5:6))
# all but b and c
z <- z[, ! colnames(z) %in% c("b", "c")]
z
