There is no "opposite" of mammals, only different life forms, such as reptiles (cold-blooded, egg-laying) or insects (very dissimilar) or bacteria (not multicellular).

Mammal is a classification, within a group of many other classifications, with their own distinct characteristics. Some major characteristics like being warmblooded or being a vertebrate could be the reverse, but the animals would still share many characteristics. Therefore there is no opposite to the term.
Egg laying animals are known as oviparous.
