clearing times in LHR T4
I am a non EU passport holder and will arrive at T4 about 3:30 PM from FCO on AZ after an AZ TLV - FCO flight, on a Thursday at the end of Oct.
Can I make a National Express bus at 5 PM? The next one is 7 PM

While 90 min should be enough time, it also depends on how heavy the loads on other flights are.

I would say checked luggage or not is not the issue, as the non-EU passport line could take 45+ minutes given contemporaneous arrivals, during which time hold bags will make it to the carousel. But as long as the AZ flight arrives on time, OP should be OK. 30 minutes or more behind schedule? It would be tight.
That's assuming the National Express bus calls at T4, and the OP does not have to train over to the Central Bus Station. If the latter, add 20+ minutes train time, so the transfer becomes tighter still.

The National Express bus that I need stops at T4.
I realize that delays can always happen but was looking more for the "average" occurance.
